12 min read
Look instagram – so women’s training appears to be another planet. Instead of barbells and dumbbells, some elastic bands, instead of squat, and deadlift with the bench – a strange movement in polupricepy. In fact, is a marketing coaching services. Girls used to believe that it is very much different from boys because they are easier to sell all this strange activity. In reality, efficient are all the same strength exercises, and focus should be more on working on technique and less on “male and female” versions of popular exercises.
Features is – they lie in the complexity of development by women of zimowych movements for the upper body, and the peculiarities of proportions. Long legs and short body most girls do not allow them self to deliver good technique squats. Hence the weight of mental suffering on the “growth of the legs and the lack of progress in the gluteus”. And “special” is the attitude many people still believe that women should train easily, and to engage in almost a dance with weights that they have got a beautiful body. The reality is more prosaic.

The differences of women’s training programs
Weight loss and reduction of body fat
Amateurs love to talk about the fact that there are no fat-burning workouts, there is only the lack of calories from food. In fact, “metabolic” or fat burning workout there is. Just most of the visitors gyms can withstand about two minutes of this training. The only “gyrosigma training” is circular, consisting of basic exercises with a barbell, the weight of which roughly 70 percent of odnoprovodnoi high. The movement perform a series of 30-40 seconds without rest, “circles” you can do only 4-5. This training increases oxygen consumption by the body at rest, and accelerates metabolism. And it is not practical for beginners.
Regular visitors of the hall must first learn how to do basic exercises and control the position of the body, and only then to manipulate the oxygen consumption with a circuit workout. At the start fit the classic scheme “2 of cardio a week and 3 power”. The plan may be:
Training program for muscle gain
“Wishlist” – type “make the nut” or “toned legs and shoulders sport” is nothing like a set of muscle mass. Sounds scary to the layman, but the girl has chances to turn into the Hulk a little. Even if you remove the cardio, and train with weights in the power mode, and there are protein, the result is just a toned athletic body and not the figure of the monster mass.
What to do:
- Be in the gym a day, not more;
- To review the diet at least 3-4 g of carbs per kilo of body weight, and 2 g protein. If the digestive tract is unable to cope – to take enzymes. But there will have muscles will not grow out of thin air;
- Approaches and repetition can be different. If a girl can’t gain muscle, working in the usual “bodybuilding” mode, for 8-12 repetitions, it shows the force mesopotamy training, in the regime of 4-6 repetitions in 5-6 approaches. All the rest – the standard 5 sets, two of which – the warm-up.
Workout to tone
The experience of sports denies this direction. Coaches say that you can not just “pull muscles” without the force. This category of women infests a marketing industry – the sale of a 20 minute workout without weights, some weird pants, and fitness classes like entertainment kindergartners. Exercises for the tummy body is usually referred to as strength training for those who have excess fat, but not overweight. The so-called “skinny fat” and have to do cardio, and strength:
- 3 strength workouts a week will help to pump the muscles and get rid of sagging;
- 15-20 minutes of curiosamente in the end power will increase the consumption of calories;
- Approximately 1.8 g of protein per 1 kg of body weight and 3 grams of carbohydrates is enough. Do not forget about the fats – at least 1 g per day is necessary for women’s hormonal health.
Any health problems a reason to go to the doctor, and the presence of spinal deformities, injuries, joint pain – to find a qualified coach. No sports experience is also a reason to contact the coach. A few personal training sessions would be useful if the last exercise was held in the school, but of energy and enthusiasm galore.
General rules of strength training
Power should be ordered. You can’t just walk into the room, and chaotically run around the gym, calling it “circular”.
To begin to do strength exercises need a warm-up weight. This is a mandatory rule – generally begin with 40 to 50 per cent of the planned working weight, then add 5-10 kg in the exercises for the legs, and 2.5 kg in the exercises on the “top”.
Warm-up is mandatory not only in the movements with a barbell, but exercise for the back, arms, and even the press. To download it you need to start with a smaller amplitude, gradually increasing it.
It is important to rest between exercise timer, slimming, rest a minute, all the rest 90-120 seconds. If the purpose of training – development of strength, it is possible to relax and more time for being. The program below is suitable for any purpose, to optimally use the working weights, that girl can lift in good technique. Remember that for most of the success of the training program will be determined not so much the program itself, how much observance of rules of food.
Exercise 1
Twisting the press
Exercise for the rectus abdominis
The exercise is performed from a starting position lying on the floor, heels are separated from the buttocks at a distance of 10-12 cm, feet literally pressed into the floor. Need exhale, allow the lower ribs to the pelvic bones, and to return to its original position.

The grip on the neck – hard, wrist flexing back is not necessary. On the exhale, the rod is removed from the racks using the extension in the knee joints, you step back and placing the feet in side. Then the pelvis descends with the exhalation, and the knee is drained to the sides and bend. The optimum lowering depth of the pelvis – one in which is maintained a straight back, and there is no rounding in the lumbar. You have to get up with the exhalation, resting at the floor the entire foot.
If during a squat off your heels, you need to pay attention to the width of the stop, pick up weightlifting shoes on the platform, and to engage in stretching of the ankle joints. If the main problem is in the knees, you should work in a more narrow stance.
Learning to squat start with the extension of the tibia in the simulator, and then squat without weights, the goblet squat with the shell on his chest, working in the simulator Smith, and finally, rod. The purpose of the development of this chain is the development of mobility of the knee, ankle and hip joints, and strengthening muscles.

The blades should not go on the bench ahead. You can hold the weights with your hands. Beginners sometimes learn the movement without the rod, and only then begin to use it. If you put the neck to the hips is not comfortable, you need to wrap it with a special lining, or use the mats for fitness.
Bench press
The bar from the racks takes the assistant to avoid injury. Even if it is 20 kg of the fretboard you still need insurance.

Grif at the start for the ankle, Then the pelvis is slightly lowered, weight is transferred to the heels, and, pushing his feet into the platform, the athlete takes the barbell from the floor, not relaxing the back. Due to the extension in the hip joint, the neck rises to the level of “your pockets” and then gently lowered back.

We need to take a dumbbell in your straight outstretched arms, put foot on the most comfortable wide stance, and lower the pelvis below the knees, touching the dumbbell of the floor, from this position, the back features angled a little so that his hands were straight and perpendicular to the floor. By extension of knees and hip joints should be fully straighten up, returning the spine to a vertical position.
