Wonder Women | Fitness | Cirencester Personal Trainer
With the recent release of the hit film 'Wonder Women' we are calling all female gym goers, take back the weights room.
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
