Calling All Women
Too many women are afraid that lifting weights will simply turn them into a female version of ‘Arnold Schwarzenegger’, yet this is simply untrue. Heavy weightlifting will not only aid weight loss but will also improve tone.
A woman’s testosterone levels are about 10 times lower than a man’s so there’s no chance of you waking up having developed a six-pack overnight. With serious training, you can gain good lean body mass while losing fat mass at the same time. It has been proven that a well-designed strength programme can elevate your metabolism for up to 38 hours after you’ve finished training, whereas with cardio training you stop burning calories, at a significantly higher level, shortly after finishing the chosen activity.
