Great post!

I have been trying to lose fat and gain muscle ever since my college days and am always grateful for anything that gets me and my girlfriend to the goal of a ripped body.

Many thanks

Interesting idea. Combination of cardio and weights… hmm… will try that.

I am also a personal trainer mostly deals with women that want to lose arm fat. They think if they lift weights they will get the manly figure, which is definitely not true. It’s essential in order to stay healthy, lean, look and to maintain that look.

Great blog! As a 50+ woman I have always struggled with my weight and have tried every diet you can name. It wasn’t until a year ago when my daughter announced her engagement and I was so desperate to lose weight that I was willing to try weights. To my surprise, I lost weight, inches and felt great. I still had to watch what I ate but can’t imagine any other way to get in shape and feel great!

To add my 2 cents worth I would advocate the following too:
* Interval training – adding short bursts of intense activity to the routine workout;
* Addressing the mental element of weight loss – using visualisiation and affirmations;
* Managing stress – cortisol promotes weight gain / fat storage;
And yes ladies, its true what they all have been saying – building lean mass boosts your metabolism and promotes weight loss and NO, you need not end up looking like the Terminator to achieve this.
I hope this helps. Good luck everyone and may you all reach your goals.
Love and peace.

Great article! I sure hope that most women will find the truth in weight training. This is definitely the key to burning off the fat. Some maybe feel that the anabolic women are out there because of lifting weight, when in reality they are all juiced up.

I am also a personal trainer and this comes up a lot with my women clients. They think if they lift weights they will get a manly figure, which is furthest from the truth. Weight training is essential in order to achieve a healthy, lean, look and to maintain that look. I always stress the importance of free weights to my clients.

Im a personal trainer and the other thing that will help people gain lean muscle as opposed to fat is as you correctly said ‘weight lifting’ to build more muscle. However the right diet is required to have the effective calories available and be in the anabolic state to gain muscle itself.
The main expertise i have is in the muscle gain dieting that people go through. Make sure you are eating at least 5/6 meals a day to keep your body in the anabolic (tissue building) stage, obviously with the right food groups but from what you have listed your on the right track. The other main thing is to keep a food diary and make sure your caloric intake is much higher than expenditure, to ensure weight gain.

I really agree on this article, since it’s better to see women with muscles than fat ones. And also in additional, slim men would have good build-up using this steps.

The thing that really made this kick in for me is the tip that the largere muscle groups need even more calories to work. You need to make sure your work out is all over, but concentrate on the large muscle groups (thighs, chest and back). I did it and really noticed a difference
