Hyderabad: Women tend to look at their body and sometimes ignore building health through fitness. They don’t need to just fit into skinny jeans, but empower themselves for the journey ahead. With strength training exercises for women, not only can you keep fit and strong, but reach your toning and sculpting goals with muscle-building workouts and exercises.
Setting goals
Before you get started on a fat loss plan the first thing is to set goals for yourself. Whether your goal is to lose a certain number of pounds or to work on a certain body part, you will need to set a reasonable time frame to achieve this.
Lunges with front and lateral raise
Step forward into a lunge position. Bend back knee towards the ground keeping both hands extended besides you. Straighten back to knee to come up from the lunge while raising both arms; one laterally to shoulder height and one to the front, also shoulder height. Repeat
bosu ball ab twister
Lock your feet and keep knees slightly bent. Sit with your glutes and mid back resting on the boso ball. Lean back keep chest up and back straight to a 45 degree angle. Extend both arms above chest and twist upper body to either side. Repeat.
Weight training for women
Weight training might sometimes seem less important in many fat loss plans. This is a huge mistake since weight training burns an incredible amount of calories and raises the metabolism for hours after training. Many people believe that the best way to lose fat is to stop lifting weights and focus on cardio. For any fat loss plan, the distinction must be made whether you’re aiming for weight loss or fat loss. Stopping all weight training will set you up to burn less calories, have a lower metabolism, and have less muscle tissue; that is not the ideal recipe for a good looking body.
Importance of muscle for fat loss
On any fat loss plan it is important to keep and build as much muscle tissue as possible. Most women think that lifting weights will make them look bulky. Often when someone looks bulky it is too much fat that is the culprit, not too much muscle. Lifting heavy weights is just as important when trying to preserve muscle mass as it is when trying to gain muscle mass. Think of it this way, the best way to put on muscle is also the best way to keep it. Lightening up the weights will do nothing but lower your metabolism and sacrifice muscle and strength.
The best approach is to focus around heavy compound movements and training everybody part twice a week. Neglecting any part of your body is just a missed opportunity for extra calories to be burned, both during training and in the post exercise state. A well-balanced weight training routine should include both heavy weights for low reps and light weights for high reps. Both methods build muscle but through different pathways so for this reason it is important to include both styles of training into your routine. Cable chest flys, wide squat with upright raving, lunges with front and lateral raise will take you a long way in looking fit and stay healthy.
