Weight Training For Women – Proven Methods For a Sexy Body

Article by Arnold Vessigny

Most women who take up exercise or workout programs tend to dismiss the idea of weight training for women. A lot women find weight training as a very light and non-engaging program that does not really lead to good or noteworthy results. However, these preconceptions about the program are misleading since many women have benefited from following the basics of strength training for women.. If you’re in doubt, and are a woman, try to find time and consider this program as it may work for you-nothing to lose but fat and a sluggish lifestyle.

A common misconception about women weight training is that weight training would make a woman’s body so muscular to the point that they would look like petite bodybuilders. This, friends, is not true. A woman’s body is just as good as a man’s, as both bodies are, by convention, a work in progress. Unless a person really starts taking working out seriously, nothing good will ever come out of a workout program except for good appearance and a good excuse to burn money.

Modern women who consider the option of weight training usually do so after work or during weekends. Weekdays are still just as jam-packed though, since a lot of gyms now have huge female followings regardless of age and life status.

For those interested in strength training, it is essential to have enough of a budget and an open mind. Although working out won’t be cheap, availing the assistance of a professional gym trainer may cost you depending on the plan or program you intend to sign-up for, and the gym where you’d be doing your workouts.

Also, consider your diet before going on weight training. Women’s bodies respond to things quite differently, and having an irregular diet while engaging in extreme activities might lead to unwanted injuries in the future. In order to prevent these things, it is important for women to rethink their diet by going for less calories and more protein. Depending on the age, other food groups may be added in order to make your diet work for you.

Women’s weight training routines differ greatly from men’s in such a way that women’s routines are less rigorous but still efficient in delivering results. It is important to note that women’s bodies are more fragile than men’s, but are just as equal in terms of potential. It is also important to note that working out in gyms may be more ideal, but sometimes, workout programs may be carried out within the comforts of one’s home. So consider having your own workout set in your spare room and ask for help from friends who are in the know.

Weight training is just like any other training; just make sure you’re ready for it – physically, mentally and financially. Before you know it, you’ll be in great shape in no time! Brace yourself for a rigorous but very rewarding experience.

Methods For Kettlebell training

February 27, 2012 by  
Filed under Kettlebell Exercises

Kettlebell training in Australia is still in its infancy despite the tool having been around for over three hundred years! But things are starting to change with many groups now running kettlebell training, instructor courses and introduction workshops.

Leading the way is Dragon Door Australia. While only having been operating for a short time they have already become known as the national experts on improving functional strength and movement via kettlebell training.

Andrew Read, one of Australia’s best-known personal trainers, started Dragon Door Australia. Located in Melbourne he originally started training with kettlebells to rehabilitate an injured shoulder. To begin with he scoured the Internet for reliable information on kettlebell training, always coming to the same source – Dragon Door.

With no local courses or training available he set to reading as much as he could of Pavel Tsatsouline’s works.

Tsatsouline is regarded as one of the brightest minds in strength training as well as being the creator of the modern kettlebell trend. His works combine old time Russian training methods with new age sports science to achieve a result only possible with these dangerous looking “cannonballs with a handle”.

What Read quickly found was that the unique design of Dragon Door kettlebells allowed him to fix and rehabilitate his inured shoulder. Even better, once he had repaired the injury he realized that kettlebells could be used to replace nearly all of his strength training. The Russian Kettlebell Certification (RKC) system devised by Tsatsouline is so state of the art, and the kettlebell so versatile, that a home gym could be set up requiring almost no space, minimal cost outlay and giving a workout that was many times greater than the sum of its parts.

The offset nature of the kettlebell allows many hidden benefits of kettlebell training to be realized. The kettlebell, by virtue of this is always trying to force the body to move out of alignment. This resistance to force is an essential element to creating stability and core strength in the body. Many have found that their core strength rises dramatically after spending some time training with kettlebells.

The difficult thing about traveling this path in Australia was that not many people had done it beforehand. But Read decided to go ahead and attend the RKC in 2009, becoming only the sixth Australian to pass. The RKC course is regarded as the world’s leading kettlebell training course and includes many of the world’s top minds in strength and conditioning. Becoming one of them is neither easy nor fast with preparation for the event taking many close to a year before satisfactory levels of strength and skill are reached. Even once a student feels ready as many as thirty percent fail the RKC at each event!

Having since gone onto become the first Australian to ever pass the Certified Kettlebell Functional Movement Specialist course as well as RKC level II, in recognition of his stellar achievements he has since been promoted to RKC Team Leader – an invite only position within the RKC only awarded to those who display exemplary knowledge and dedication to becoming the best kettlebell trainer they can be.

By combining the essence of human movement –building blocks of exercise that in turn lay the foundation for athletic performance – with the simplicity of the kettlebell is an easy feat. The RKC system is built on the development of force while retaining relaxation. These two elements are two sides of the same coin – the athletic performance coin. And contained within the works of Tsatsouline are many thoughts on both of these essential subjects.

Even movements that appear simple – such as the swing – often contain many depths of technical skill not often initially realized by people. This one simple exercise teaches force development as well as speed and power production. It teaches safe lifting mechanics, while reinforcing good posture – an essential element, often overlooked, is that performance and safety are intertwined. The swing also teaches breath manipulation for strength and safety as well as the aforementioned ability to relax even during times of high workload.

With Dragon Door now firmly entrenched in American’s minds as the leaders in advanced strength and conditioning resources it is only natural that Dragon Door Australia are starting to become known for the same thing. With one of Australia’s best known personal trainers now leading the charge for both functional strength and kettlebell training it is only a matter of time before this secret training method of the Russian supermen becomes better known.

A Good Bodybuilding Training Program: It’s All a Question of Balancing Your Methods

December 2, 2011 by  
Filed under Bodybuilding

Article by Karan Naidoo

Bodybuilding training provides two ways to build your body strength, muscle definition and an attractive, fit look. One training technique increases your muscle mass, while another method strengthens the muscles you have, as well as increasing muscle definition.

A third way available in your bodybuilding regimen combines the efforts of the first two, increased mass and definition. By far, most body builders prefer mass and definition, although mass is generally not what the female bodybuilder wants. Bodybuilder competitions always assess both muscle mass and muscle definition, and most people find mass, with definition most aesthetic.

If you’ve new to the bodybuilding training programs, you’re in the perfect position to start a balanced weight training course of mass building, followed by definition building, followed by mass building, and so on. Intentionally shifting between the two training regimens is the trick to that sought after balanced look that wins, both in competitions and your general physical appearance in public settings.

When you begin training, keep a careful record of your body measurements, as tracking this is important in optimizing your results.

When you first start adding mass, you want to keep piling it on until you’ve got the body of the Hulk. Ironically, you gain muscle mass by breaking down muscles! This means incrementally lifting heavier weights after your muscles have healed from the tearing that the last bodybuilding session caused.

You have to give a day of rest between each mass building session, to give the muscles time to heal. If you’re lifting every day but the muscles aren’t getting any bigger, this is why. Tear down that muscle as well as you can one day, rest the next day, and go to your bodybuilding training session the day after your rest. Three times a week of heavy lifting will increase your muscle mass steadily.

Now, when you’ve added a sixth of an inch, or, you’ve been bodybuilding training for muscle mass for three months, stop increasing the amount of weight you’re lifting, but do start to increase your repetitions. Continue with this regimen for a third of the amount of time that you spent building muscle mass. For example, if you spent six weeks in mass building, spend the next two on definition.

Bodybuilding training is taken up for many reasons, including increasing the attractiveness of your body, as well as for health purposes. Most people can use a little more muscle mass, so whatever your reason for bodybuilding training, when you start, start by putting on a little mass and increasing your strength and stamina. It’ll give you the energy you need to get through the day painlessly, and the ease with which you can do muscular activity will make your efforts enjoyable. Women, of course, may want to watch carefully how much mass they’re putting on. Set your goal and don’t exceed it.

Men, for whatever reason they take up body building, tend not to know when enough mass has been added and the time for definition has arrived. It’s somewhat like an addiction. You simply need to discipline yourself and force yourself to give some time to the important task of definition. Too much mass, and your muscles just look fat! Remember, definition of that mass is what your bodybuilding training is all about.
