Women’s Gym Workout for Perfect Body

Many women believe that by lifting weights they will become bulky.

Well, we have news for you! You won’t!

Women have different hormones than men and the hormones that are responsible for bulking men are not present in women. So no matter how much weight they lift, they won’t develop bulkier muscles like men do.

If you follow proper nutrition and workout plan you will be able to keep yourself in best shape. It is important not to work out 3-5 days a week and not more than that, give your muscles some rest to fully recover.

Weight Training

Most women exercise to lose their belly fat and to tone their body. With the help of lifting weight your body burns fat quickly, even quicker than cardio does. While lifting weights, it is important that you maintain steady breathing. Avoid lifting weights that are too heavy. For women, it is much better to workout with lighter weights with as much reps possible.

When you are on to a 5 days weight training, spend 3 day of those 5 doing 10-20 minute cardio, and then rest for the remaining 2 days.

For weight training workout, if is highly recommended to use gym gloves for hand’s protection and safety. The padding in the gloves keep hands from getting blisters and calluses if you are lifting heavy weights.

Cardio Exercises

For this cardio workout you will need equipment like mat, medicine ball, kettlebell, and jump rope. It is designed to challenge your body burn over 200 calories in less than 20 minutes. Although you can choose any of the numerous fat burning exercises that you enjoy doing, but I would highly recommend that you try jumping rope, squat thrust, and kettlebell swing.

These exercises will also help you ramp up your metabolism rate and challenge several major muscle groups like arms, legs, abs, and chest. It is important that you complete each exercise for at least one minute before taking a rest. If you get bored of these, you can also try other cardio workouts such as mountain climber, tire run, small sprints, burpee spike, and shadow boxing.

Rest time between Sets

Your body also needs rest in between each set. How much you rest, depend on your recovery. In the beginning your body will need more time, but with the passage of time you can reduce that time to just 30 seconds.
