Four Missing Moves that every woman should be doing for a better workout.
If you’ve been pumping
iron at the gym with little to no results, it may because you are omitting some
very important moves from your workout. I don’t mean dance moves, although
dancing is a great form of cardio exercise, I mean THESE moves:
1.
High-intensity Training: Coasting along, singing a song on the elliptical
trainer isn’t going to melt the pounds away as quickly as high-intensity
training. Also called, HIIT, High intensity training is typically 10 to 20
minutes of short, high-impact workouts. This is one of the best ways to burn
fat and improve your overall fitness.
2.
Heavier Lifting: It’s better to do 8 reps per set with a 15lb dumbbell, instead
of 15 reps with an 8 pound one. Lifting heavier quantities will not only
increase your strength, it will create better muscle tone, and who doesn’t want
that!
3.
Upper Body Focus: You can’t spot-reduce fat by JUST focusing on the areas where
fat is store, which for a woman is thighs, hips and waist. By working on your
upper body, not only are you converting stored fat into muscle, but you are
also building strength, which is very important for women to have mainly for
good posture.
4.
Train with a barbell: Again, this improves posture and can also lend a hand in
toning up the lower parts of your body as well.
Overall
it’s important to work out the entire body -and to switch up your routine as
much as possible. This way you optimize your workout time and make it count
towards your fitness goals.

Facts about Women’s health & fitness
2. Strength training de-feminizes women. Fortunately, the wide array of potential benefits of strength training (functional, physical, mental, and health) is just as appropriate and available to women as they are to men. Tight, firm, muscles have nothing to do with the objectionable term "de-feminize."
3. Lifting weights will cause women to develop relatively large muscles. In reality, women don't have the genetic potential to develop large muscles because, except in very rare instances, they don't have enough testosterone, which is needed for the development of muscle bulk.
4. Strength training will make a woman muscle-bound. Muscle-bound is a term that connotes lack of flexibility. Not only will proper strength training not make a woman less flexible, in most cases, it will make her more flexible.
5. A woman's muscles will turn to fat when she stops training. Muscles cannot turn into fat. Muscles simply don't have the physiological capacity to change from one type of tissue to another. Muscles have the property of "use it or lose it." If a woman doesn't use a particular muscle, that muscle will literally waste away (atrophy).
6. A woman can take protein supplements to enhance her physique. A woman cannot enhance how her body looks by using protein supplements, because her body can't use the extra protein. An excessive amount of protein is not used to build muscle tissue. Rather, it is converted to fat and stored in the body.
7. Rigorous strength training can help a woman rid her body of fat. Research shows that, although strength training can firm and tone muscles, it does not burn away fat.
8. Strength training increases a woman's need for vitamins. The vitamin needs of a physically active woman are generally no greater than those of a sedentary one. Because vitamins do not contribue significantly to a woman's body structure and do not provider her with a direct source of energy, a woman who engages in strength training receives no benefit from taking an excessive dose of vitamin supplements. Eating a variety of healthful foods will ensure that a woman's intake of vitamins is adequate.
9. Strength training is for young women. It's never too late for a woman to enhance the quality of her life by improving her level of muscular fitness. Proper strength training offers numerous benefits to women of all ages and fitness levels, including the fact that it can help extend a woman's functional life span.
10. Strength training is expensive for a woman. Not true. Muscles respond to the stress applied to them, not to the cost of the machine. All other factors being equal, muscles can't discern 50 pounds of stress on an inexpensive barbell from 50 pounds of stress imposed by a high-tech machine costing thousands of dollars.

Health tip # 7
Treadmills don’t get you anywhere – take a hike or walk around the city. The changing terrain under your feet will actually strengthen and tone different muscles as it’s forced to adapt. This could even be as simple as a couple of laps around the block in your lunch hour.
Remember to keep your head high, bottom tucked in and abdominal muscles pulled in towards the spine to increase the effectiveness of the walk and cushion the impact on your back.
