I think what most women imagine when they think of weight training is too big men and agarradazos imagine instead of thin, with a well-contoured body, defined, toned, cellulite-free, yet durito and in place. "I do not want to get irons because as a man" - Stay calm that will not happen in a million years. Weight training is not exclusive to men, women can also get all the benefits without ending up looking like the female version of Hulk.
Men VS Women: Testosterone is the hormone responsible for the development of a man's muscle when training. The woman has a fraction of the level of testosterone that man has, i.e. whether the normal level of testosterone a man is 200-1200 ng/dl women have 15-70 ng/dl. Almost nothing comparing both ranges. It is clear that a woman will ever like Arnold simply because their hormonal system is not designed for that. But I'm not saying that you will not grow muscles, only instead of as a man you get put curvaceous, toned and fit.
So get off the treadmill, the elliptical say goodbye, do not go to the spinning room and get a good bar or dumbbells and start training with weights progressively. Here I give you an example of the number of repetitions as your goal:
· 1-6 reps for strength
· 8-12 reps for hypertrophy (development)
· 15-20 reps for strength
Of course, this may vary according to your conditioning but at least will give you a basic idea. Forget the typical 3x25 you get in the gym for muscle growth you must perform between 8-12 repetitions with a weight that costs you to make the last rep. Challenge yourself to yourself. Do not be afraid that the Spartans are unique bodies of men. In the end, it is true that if you wanted to compare physically then men and women are not equal and it's men who dominate most of the hard work either exercises or weightlifting. One of the best exercises for the average woman is Yoga which keeps them healthy, good in fitness and it also helps their mind and makes them relax. Rehan Riaz Merchant healthy eating
