Weight Training For Women

Let me start by saying rather it’s weight training for women or anyone else, the first thing you should do before starting any new exercise program is check with your doctor. With that, said lets begin.

Up until recently, and by recently I mean maybe five or ten years ago, most women did not train with weights. The reasons I was given varied from everything from being worried about getting bulking up, or appearing to masculine, some even worried about getting veins.

The truth of the matter is none of that depending on your program could be farther from the truth, If you design, a program tailored to what you want. There are lots of benefits for women when it comes to weight training, the first benefit is the obvious you will have a fitter, toner, and more healthy looking body.

And that is just on the outside, on the inside the benefits are a stronger heart and connective tissues.

There are a few differences between men and women weight training. Here are some facts before we go on, weight training does not always equal a bulked up body.

Another myth is that cardio training without some sort of weight program is all that is needed to lose weight muscles help burn fat. Now it is true that you will certainly burn calories, but weight training helps to speed up your metabolism.

Here in my opinion is the secret for women that want to workout with weights, but are still worried about bulking up. Start with lighter weights and higher reps. Higher reps with lighter weights tone, while heavier weights with lower weights bulk.

If you remember that you should not have to worry about bulking up like the incredible hulk. You are going to want to work hard; you want to get that heart rate up. The more calories the faster you will be fit and toned.My name is Luke Wilson and I am an avid consumer writer.
