Evaluating a Weight Lifting Program for Women
I’m going to help you with your weight lifting program for women. Misinformation is abundant in this area and you need to watch out for it. I hope to help you through this, so you get the best information.
There is an underlining philosophy that makes up weight lifting. This needs to be followed no matter what. If your trainer or anyone tells you something that goes against these ideals, than you need to avoid this persons information.
- Muscle tissue takes up to 48 hours to repair itself. That means you should be working the same muscle group in that time period. You need to give the muscle the necessary break to repair itself.
- Eat smaller meals more often because that is the official bodybuilding diet for everyone; man or woman. Your body needs a constant flow of nutrients coming in, so that means you’re going to have to start eating every 2-4hrs to make sure you’re getting all the potential nutrients into your system that you can.
- Metabolism is greatly effected by your digestive system. Eating smaller meals has this effect. When your metabolism is going at a much faster rate, your body is warmer and capable of burning more calories than average.
- I’m a firm believer that the intensity of a workout is far more important than the length. Too many people try to workout at the gym for hours. That is stupid and detrimental to your progress. Focus on shorter works that are extremely intense.
Now you should be in the position of evaluating a weight lifting program for women. You should pick it based on the above criteria being met.
