Women, however, still tend to shy away from this beneficial form of exercise.

Gentlemen, if the very idea of lifting weights scare you?

Seems to be more of a man% u2019s dream of having big bulky muscles. Why, then, that men, whose bodies naturally contain greater amounts of testosterone and growth hormone, lift weights, but do not become big and bulky?

It% u2019s true! Unless integrates with unhealthful and dangerous steroids or similar substances, most men are not naturally mass enormously from lifting weights regularly. Nor most women.

The idea that women are big, ugly muscles by weight training is a big misunderstanding.

The fact of the matter is that women should lift weights in order to achieve the lean, sculpted bodies who dream of having. If a woman does not happen to have a genetic predisposition in bulk in a hurry, there are easy ways to modify a workout to avoid this extra muscle size, while the force continues to grow rapidly and burn fat.

The woman of average weight that trains, however, can only be a leaner and healthier body without adding unwanted muscle mass.

Let% u2019s begin discussing the basics of weight training ..

Weight training involves controlled lifting and working with weights. Two basic terms are relative weights and%%% u201D u201Crep u201Cset.% U201D A spokesman describes the full measure of raising and lowering a weight during a single act of exercise. A set describes the number of times a particular representative runs.

For example when a person is five repetitions of a fold where they squat and stand for five times in a row, then stop and switch to another or working or finished their training. These five community centers would equal one set. A balanced weight training consists of several series of different exercises.

Your goal is like a beginner, intermediate or advanced lifter should be to exhaust the muscles in the shortest amount of time - which means simply that when you lift a weight you should lift a weight heavy enough to exhaust the muscles doing just of 10-15 repetitions.

And you should do this exercise model about 3 days a week - at least 24 hours of rest after each workout.

I'm going to share an exercise in principle with you that many commercial fitness buff "I hate to tell you why this year to do more for your body than almost any other year round - making it completely useless for you to buy more and another exercise gadget on television late at night anymore.

Before sharing with you I give you a quick disclaimer ..This should be done (at least initially) under the supervision of a qualified personal trainer, in order to learn the correct form to use during movement.

This exercise will work EVERY muscle in your body, and you can do in the privacy of your own home without fancy equipment or expensive video's.

In fact, this year a year of grassroots activities and will be set up inside the furnace to burn more calories throughout the rest of the day than any other exercise that we tried (if done correctly).

It's called the dead lift and here, as is the case for maximum fat loss and body shaping ..

Starting position

Stand with your feet flat and put a little more than shoulder width apart with the tip slightly outward.

Fall even lower than the shoulders and grasp the bar lifting weights (or any other small object) ..At first I recommend that you use very little weight added, so when you bend over to pick something up with a book or something else that is small and lightweight - only to help balance.

Place hands on the bar (or whatever you choose to lift), slightly less than shoulder width, inside the elbows and knees fully extended. Place bars about 1 inch of front legs and balls of feet.

Upward movement

Lift bar off floor by extending hips and knees.
Maintain a straight and back flat at all times.
Keep elbows fully extended.
Keep bar close to shins as possible without hitting or scraping.
When the bar passes your knees move the hips forward.
Keep your body erect at the point of full knee and hip extension.

Downward direction

Allow the hips and knees to flex to slowly lower bar on the ground.
Repeat the movement until finished with the collection.

Now this may seem a bit 'confused the first time many of you read it - but once the practice for a day or 2, the movement will become second nature to you and begins to feel and see results quickly.

Remember that every new year is a bit 'of pain, so start slowly and gradually increase the intensity.

Gentlemen, I urge you: let go of your preconceptions about weight training. Do not be afraid of it. Embrace your potential lifting weights! You will benefit much more from it for hours and hours on that piece of cardio equipment alone .
