Why Is It Difficult For Women To Build Big Muscles?
"I don't want to workout lifting weights because I am a
woman and I don't want to build big muscles " or "I just do aerobics and sit
ups to lose weight because if I lift weights, I may build muscle and look like
a man."
Girls, have you made these comments before? Awww...
c'mon ladies, if you have ever uttered these words, you have just done a
terrible disservice to yourself and are missing out on many great benefits
that working out with weights can give you. It is not easy for women to build
big muscles.

Have you ever pointed to your tummy or your butt and sweetly proclaimed,
"I want lose tummy weight here." Then you managed to convince yourself that
sweating profusely is the answer to a
slim and beautiful body. With that conviction you hit the gym day in and
day out just to sweat off your tummy or butt fat !
So you peddle away on your stationary bike in the gym just like little
hamsters or frantically stepping away on the step up stair climber machine and
then you woefully do crunches after crunches in the hope of having a flat
belly and a
shapely butt not realising that there is no such thing as spot reduction.
You never even bother take a look at the weight lifting machines or the
free weights lying everywhere in the gym not to say even touching those
weights. Gosh.This terrible myth of building
big muscles on women that is creating so much fear in women causing them
never to train with weights at their detriment.
Girls! If you are listening, I want to say this loud and clear. There
is no way women can build big huge muscles unless you are on special
supplementation and specially designed persoanl training system designed
particularly for women to build big muscles. Some of those muscle bound women
you have seen may even be taking steroids which are banned and obviously
harmful. Never never touch steroids to build msucles.
So then, why is it difficult for women to build muscles? Well, it is
simply because females do not have enough of testosterone, a male hormone that
encourage muscles to grow. In fact, girls have ten to thirty times less of
this muscle building hormones, tetosterone, than their male counterparts. Make
sense?
Women who accept the myth that they will build
big muscles if they workout with weights will miss out on all of the
benefits that weightlifting and bodybuilding can offer. This myth is so
ingrained in women's psyche that even after explaining the facts to my women
clients, they are still afraid to lift weights.
So will girls who lift weights in their workouts build more muscle
tissue? Yes, of course, but it will not be those big huge muscles like those
of bodybuilders. Your muscles will just tone your body shape resulting in a
tight, firm, healthy, attractive and desirable body. The body shape that is
ever so sexy and adorable. Don't you girls want a sexy and attractive body?
Build some muscles to tone your body if you do.
Yes, you may have noticed an increase in weight when you step on a
scale. This is not because you are putting on fat. This is because muscles
weigh heavier than fat. Thus, as you increase your muscle tissue, your weight
will increase but your body fat will be reduced giving you a well toned sexy
body which most women can only dream of.
Muscle burn calories naturally even when you are sleeping. In fact,
research has shown that for each kilo of muscle you build, you will burn many
more calories per day. So if you were to gain some muscles, you will naturally
be burning excess calories even when you are sleeping. Doesn't that sounds
great?
Another reason that women should do weightlifting is the benefit it can
have on your bones. Weight training is a powerful preventive action against
osteoporosis, a disease caused by porous bone and low bone density.
Women have a much higher risk than men to suffer from osteoporosis. In
fact, most women will suffer from this disease as they age. Those women
plagued with osteoporosis will have an increased susceptibility to fractures.
These fractures can even be fatal. So, women should exercise with weight to
strengthen and increase bone density.
Research has shown that 24 weeks of weightlifting may increase bone
mineral density by as much as 15 percent. As you increase your muscle tissue,
your bones must adapt to accommodate this increase in your muscle mass. So
your bones respond by increasing in density. The result? You will own a
stronger skeletal structure and a reduced risk for osteoporosis.
So girls, don't completely swear off weightlifting fearing that training
with weights will build big muscles and turn you into an Incredible Hulk! You
won't and you can't. Period. OK girls, the weights are over there. Let's lift
them now! Have the last laugh when your girl friends tell you that they don't
want to lift weights and yet watching you transform your body that will make
heads turn when you are in your bikini.
Now you can own an attractive and desirable body with Burn
Fat Build Muscles Fast system.
