Women's Fitness Fads Come and Go But Some Workouts Are Meant to Last

When it comes to women's fitness, it's hard to know what's real and what's just someone's effort to make fast cash and take advantage of our vulnerability when it comes to losing weight and getting fit.



Women are a bit more targeted with fads and fitness scams compared to men because we're more open minded and we want not just a workout but a fun, fast and easy workout. It's because of this deep desire that hundreds of fitness fads have been more.



Let's see there's the small inflatable ball that will blast body fat and tighten your body, there was the ab machine that now sits under the bed and collects dust.



.. it had promised to burn hundreds of calories and tone your stomach with just 6 minutes a day of exercise (yeah right)... and then there are the fun workouts.. the pole dance, the strip tease workouts, the no weight needed workouts and on and on.



Sure they started off fun but after a while you got bored doing the same 45 minute DVD workout each day, and the classes at the gym started to lose their appeal and so now your back going... "I thought this would work".



Don't worry, you're not alone.



.. women's workout tips are everywhere and it's hard to know what's right and what is just bad advice. That's what I want to help you with... and why trust me?



I am a woman and I only train women so I guess you can call me a women's fitness expert!



Is there a women's workout program out there that won't get boring and that will actually give you results? Heck yea there is! And all you have to do is look to the boys to figure out what it is.



The best proven way to increase your calorie burn, tone your body and keep your workout motivation from getting stagnant is with strength training.



Grabbing for the weights and going to town... of course with a well designed workout!



If you're afraid of the idea of strength training let me put it to rest... women aren't built like men! You and I don't have the muscle building hormones that they do and our estrogen keeps us from buffing up.



Actually lean muscle mass on a woman helps you to lose body fat, tone your body and have great curves. Most of my women always first announce their excitement of the new tush they got from lifting.



Muscle takes energy to build and to keep healthy so it naturally boosts your metabolism having you burn more calories during the day when you are doing absolutely nothing!



Here's a fun fact for you.



.. history shows that people have been participating in strength training for thousands of years! I am talking Greek and Roman times here! So if it's lasted that long compared to the 3 month fads you know it's gotta be doing something.



And here's another fun fact... sure aerobics has been available forever but too much cardio can actually reduce your results! It can decrease metabolism and lean muscle and have you plateau easily... keep getting results with weights!
