All gyms anywhere in the world are somewhat similar to each other. Wherever you go, you will see a similar density of distribution of women and men in the cardio and strength zones: girls and women tightly occupy the treadmills and steppers throughout the entire workout, men - with grimaces expressing superhuman efforts, resisting the force of gravity of the barbell to the ground, sneaking a peek at the girls’ tight leggings...
There's nothing wrong with getting into cardio. Such workouts are useful for fat burning and weight loss... This is what is commonly believed. Although the latest scientific data says that it is not very useful...
But even if this were so, then think for a moment about the following: suppose that you managed to lose weight by the desired 5-10-20 kg (substitute the desired number that you came up with for yourself). What's next? What kind of body is really hidden behind the layers of fat? The dream of every man or a skinny, beautiful, anorexic woman, whom it would be a shame to bring out in public, and whom it would be harsh to hug?
Main thoughts:
The effectiveness of cardio exercises for weight loss is higher when they are combined with strength training for women
Strength training leads to transformations at the cellular level, the result of which is more active calorie burning throughout the day
Strength training improves the shape of the female body in the right feminine places, while grueling runs on the treadmill deplete it, revealing flat relief.
In a state of stress and bad mood, iron exercises in the gym are the best therapeutic remedy
Strength training improves cardiovascular health and prevents the conversion of the sweet treats we sometimes indulge into fat by increasing insulin sensitivity
Strength training is one of the most effective means to combat osteoporosis in women and girls.
Strength exercises stimulate a slight increase in testosterone levels in women's bodies, which increases sexual desire and has a positive effect on mood
Strength training for women improves sleep quality and even helps get rid of insomnia
Strength training for women will never make you masculine. Remember: mutants from the world of women's bodybuilding (as well as men's) are always on the needle
Many girls are afraid and embarrassed by strength training, although its benefits for appearance undoubtedly exceed the benefits of exercise on a treadmill and stepper . One of the reasons for such fears is that they are afraid of becoming masculine, having seen enough of steroid monsters of unknown gender with breasts and the likeness of male genital organs on the request “female bodybuilding.”
Such fears are unfounded. You will never become like that (testosterone levels are not the same). All you see is a reckless attempt to argue with nature, which is always harshly punished. And not only by the loss of health, but, what is much more cruel, by the loss of feminine essence, tenderness, beauty, attractiveness, and the ability to have children.
Strength training for women helps add grace to their body, emphasize details and shapes, add tone, improve self-esteem and self-perception - important components of sexuality desired by most girls and women, as well as men
