Weight Training For Women

April 20, 2009




weightsburnfatMostly, we women are quite afraid of going for weight training. Seeing
the male body builders we often think that we will grow muscles like
them and will surely loose our femininity.

However this is not the case for the simple reason of lack of testosterone. They help in the development of muscles. Just see for yourself the case of the female body builders. They do not have huge muscles like the male counterpart.

In fact weight training may be doubly effective than other forms of exercise in toning and shaping the body and as it works through resistance it works much faster. Just keep this few things in mind.

Lighter weight and many repetitions:

This is the mantra of weight training for the females. Do not try and attempt to lift heavy weight. And why will you? Just stick to the 5 pound dumbles  and make it sure to do many repetition.

Kick the Weight:

There are two types of resistance training one is with the free weights and the other is resistance training with machines. During the initial days and if you like forever you can stick to the machine.

They are adequate resistance provider and they are safe. On the other hand if not done properly free weight may cause injuries.

The breast: It derives particular mention because it is very important
for the men but not so for the girls. So avoid heavy chest training after all you don’t want broaden, manly chest.

Dieting: Along with resistance training there should be a change in the
diet. Before exercising have a banana and after that have a glass of fruit juice. Avoid high carbohydrate food and rather insist on natural protein diet like soyabeans, fish, meat, egg, and pulses etc.
