The Need to Train Like A Man, Especially if you are a Woman
Come on ladies! Are you sick of watching men do pull-ups and you can't even do one? I know my wife was. She now does more than most men, and she has the build of a fitness model not a body builder.
As a fitness coach I stay current with the latest developments. I am always looking for workouts to stay in shape that are not only effective, but also fun. Since most of my clients are more concerned with having a lean physique than with developing real strength, it's been a challenge to convince them that training for strength is an excellent way to become leaner.
Many women have the illusion that if they even glance at free weights, they will end up looking like Arnold's long lost twin sister. As a result, women flock to aerobics classes and exercise machines every year with the hope of discovering the holy grail of fat loss.
I do not have to tell you what the end result is.
Think I am being too harsh? Go to an aerobics class today and take a mental note of the class. Now go back in a month and take a look at the results. See what I mean?
Results that are noticeable do not come from just cardiovascular exercise. Make no mistake about it, the best way to get a lean, sexy, and a well defined physique is with heavy weights and low reps.
