No Hulk Here!
Why Ladies Should Lift Weights.
"I don't want to have huge muscles..." is what I hear from woman. Like most woman, I thought only about Cardio, Cardio, Cardio. I have always been active and could never figure out why I was looking the same. The answers came from lifting up a dumbbell. I am in better shape than I was as a teenager and have more confidence in the gym.
There are a lot of MYTHS and MISUNDERSTANDINGS to woman and WEIGHT TRAINING. Here are some things to think about the next time you WALK INTO A GYM.
Metabolism and Muscles:
The more lean muscles you have the more calories you will burn at rest.
Bone Health:
Studies have shown that lifting weights regularly can increase bone density. Most of us don't think of this in our early years.
Hormones:
Woman don't have the level of testosterone necessary to support a bulky physique. The woman that do look like male bodybuilders most likely supplement with hormones.
We all have different genetics, some of us have more muscle density than others. Training will play a big role in how your body develops. Hypertrophy is not as easy as you might think, and most people work hard to make sure their training program supports Muscle Growth.
Much of this is dependent of what your eating on a daily basis and a bulking diet is very different than a fat loss diet for woman.
BOTTOM LINE what you eat and how you train will determine how your body DEVELOPS. A full body training program and a diet rich in protein, veggies and healthy fats is an effective path towards fat loss & strength for most woman.
The end results will equal a much stronger and more confident you.
