Women And Weights | Cirencester Personal Trainer

Calling All Women.
After reading a fantastic article in the Independent about a 71 year old female power lifter (CLICK HERE) and having worked with many women who have achieved fantastic personal training results (FOR TESTIMONIALS PLUS BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS CLICK HERE) it got me thinking, why are women not lifting enough?
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.
Enjoy
