Chapter 1 Women and Bodybuilding
A lot of womenhave misgivings about bodybuilding. They somehow associate it with hulking menwith oversized muscles. They are under the impression that lifting weights willdestroy their feminine figures. As a result, they stick to tons of cardiothinking that it is the only way for them to stay fit.
The reality iswomen dont really gain muscle like men. Testosterone is the hormone thatdrives muscle gain in men and they produce it in large quantities. Women on theother hand only produce a small amount of this hormone as compared to men. Sothis means that you can keep working away with heavy weights without worryingthat you will turn into the Hulk.
Addressing BodyBuilding Myths
It is true thatthere are women bodybuilders who appear masculine. But you have to rememberthat these are usually professionals who spent years and years of hard work, particulartraining programs and even use of anabolic drugs to reach that level of muscledevelopment. They attained their physique by their own choice. Unless you arealso aiming for the same physique, you shouldnt worry about losing yourfeminine looks.
One thing is trueabout weight training though. It builds lean muscles which is a good thing foryou. More lean muscles means that you burn more calories. Burning more caloriestranslates to getting leaner and sexier. The muscles also add curves and shapeto your body. Your arms wont look loose, your tummy will trim down and evenyour butt will look shapelier. Sounds hard to believe? Remember all those timesyouve read about getting toned in those womens magazines? They wereactually talking about nice and lean muscles.
Probably the mostsignificant thing about bodybuilding is the health benefits it offers. Womenwho have been caught by the trap of sticking only to cardio are missing out ona lot of things. They end up having a lack of muscle mass and physical strength.This can lead to several health problems in the long run. The lack ofresistance and weight training has been seen as one of the reasons why womenusually have frail bodies and weaker bones as they age.
The bottom linehere is that bodybuilding and muscle gains actually accentuate femininity. Notonly that, it builds strength and keeps you healthy all in one go. So clear allthose misconceptions you might have had and tap into the secrets of bodybuilding.
Workouts and Diet
An important thingyou have to remember about bodybuilding is that it is not just about clockinghours in the gym. Working out can be rendered useless if it is not combinedwith proper diet. In the same way, dieting alone may not get you the lean andfirm body you want if you dont exercise.
It is all aboutfinding the right balance of both. Also, take note that not all workout anddiet plans will work for everyone. This is just the reality of staying fit.Fortunately for you, bodybuilding has become a more scientific endeavor intofitness. This means that with the help of experts and nutritionists, there arenow a set of guidelines that can be used to make your own custom bodybuildingprogram. That information has been condensed and simplified for you in thechapters to follow.
Chapter 2 A Work-out Plan for You
The Essentials for YourPersonal Program
Being a DIY girl is a great way to get a start on bodybuilding.It gives you the opportunity to learn about exercises and how they fit intoyour program. It allows you to adjust your own secret training regimen andgives you that satisfying feeling of creating something that is your own.
If you are not yet familiar with the usual workouts or if youneed a refresher of what makes up a training program, this section is for you.
Here are the must-haves of every weightlifting program for youto mix and match:
Compound Lifts
Compound lifts are exercises that utilize two or more musclegroups. These are essential for building strength and losing weight. The ruleof thumb is to include at least two of these exercises every time you work out.
Aside from building lean muscles, these compound motions arealso good for making you more athletic and mobile. They usually entail a fluidchain of movements that help you stay quick and agile. It is also good for youyour cardiovascular system because they get your heart rate up with every rep.
Since these exercises involve more than one muscle group, thisalso means they burn more calories than your other lifts. To illustrate, whenyou do squats, you involve all your leg muscles, your back and even yourabdominal muscles meaning you expend more energy. Compare this to simple legpresses that mostly isolate your quad leg muscles and you can see the differencein calorie burning.
