subject: Tips For Women Who Want To Lift Weights [print this page] Commonly, only men do weight lifting because they have different muscles than women and men are more capable in doing it. That's what people will always say.
Still, despite the notion about how men and women were meant to be, these days, more and more women are turning to weight lifting as a way to exercise and keep fit. Women who want to build muscle might find it takes time to do it, but here are a few tips on how to get a lean, muscular figure:
Tip 1: First things first, find the proper venue where you can lift weights regularly. The number one place is, of course, the gym. You might feel self conscious about it at first, but once you do it regularly, you'll feel just like one of the men.
Working out at home can be fruitful as well if you have a lot of equipment on hand. But there is nothing like working out amongst other weight lifters and trainers who will give you a lot of advice and motivation.
Tip 2: Work out as many muscles as you can when you lift weights. Thus, focus on exercises that workout a large group of muscles instead of just focusing on a particular muscle group. A great way to do this is performing combination exercises.
3. Aim to do workout in just a shorter time. You can target below 60 minutes. The ideal time would be 30-45 minutes, however, if you are in a gym, usually the machines you are going to use are still with the others hand, you have to wait until it will become available. So at least you have an allowance spent for waiting.
No. 4. In any game or project, there are two important ingredients to success. They are plan and implement. This is the same with working out. One has to come up with a plan to maximize the benefit, and armed with the plan, one has to implement the plan properly and on time.
These tips are very simple and easy to follow but you have to be more patient to get a good result.
