The Female Weight Loss Plan

Weight loss training can be harder for a female than for a male. Our bodies are certainly different so why should we train the same?

The answer is we shouldn't.

Our goals typically are not the same, our bodies are built differently, fat settles in dissimilar areas of the body, so we need a workout that meets a woman's needs.

What I have found that to be is a workout which addresses fat loss and muscle gain, without the bulk. But don't go throw out the weights yet! You are going to need some weight training to build up strength in your muscles.

The higher percentage of muscle you have, the more efficiently your body will burn fat. So don't be afraid to put on a little muscle, not only does it tone but it all helps to improve and diminish aches and pains associated with muscle weakness.

So throw out the cookie cutter programs. Follow these guidelines and you will find the results you have been searching for all this time!

Combine these training techinique for the ultimate female training program!

To structure your total body workout start yourself off with bodyweight circuit including 4 exercises that challenge the whole body.

Example:

Standing Lunges

Push-ups

Standing Squats

Inverted Rows

Each exercise should be done in 2 sets with 12-15 repetitions.

The next part of the routine is weight training. This area can include 1-leg exercises or balance apparatus exercises such as performing a standing row while balancing on a bosu ball. Perform 4 exercises that place demands on various parts of the body in 2 supersets.

Example:

Lateral Lunges and Standing Row

1-Leg Deadlifts and Dumbell Chest Press

Each superset should be completed twice with 10 repetitions per exercise. Try not to take any rest in between exercises until you have finish your superset.

Following this format should be helpful for any female but keep in mind that if you have injuries or limited range of motion you need to alter the exercises to cater to your needs. You should also make sure that you know how to properly perform each exercise before increasing volume. A trainer can help you to learn the proper form or design a similar program for your individal needs!
