Women Strength Training ...Continued

Part 2

-The ability to perform upper body exercises, for example, push-ups and chin-ups:

Most of these women strength training I have trained before and still now are capable of doing lower body exercises like squats, lunges and other different exercises that involve their legs where is relatively easier than the upper body.

Yes, the margin difference between the lower body and upper body strength is apparent.

The Reasons Behind It

The three obvious reasons in women strength training arena have these particular challenges or issues are as follows:

1.Lack of Activity

- To make it brief - women, and for that matter, people in general don't move a lot and particularly in the industrialized societies.

Many of us hold jobs that are not physical. Meaning we're sedentary for a good part of each work day. So the body strength diminishes gradually by time and less and less of the physical work we can handle.

2. Consuming More Calories Than We Can Burn

Many people eat a large quantity of foods than their bodies are able to burn, thus keeping the body weight in an unbalanced state. Where you burn less calories than you take in for several reasons. Here are some:

1. Working in a stressful environment that can lead to munching on food as soothing aid.

2. Consuming foods that are not nourishing to the body due to the lack of the proper nutrients; therefore the body is not satisfied. As a result, you eat more and more empty calories.

3. We may eat one or two huge meals a day which is not the best way and to make it even worse; one of these huge meals is consumed at the wrong time. For example, eating a huge dinner around bed time.

So the bottom line is this, the body will start to accumulate fat as stored energy if you never use it!

And for women the fat accumulates more around certain areas than others, like the thighs and arms areas, for example. But eventually the whole body looks fat all around if the above eating habits continue.

The resistance exercise will certainly help firm those challenging areas (thigh and arm muscles) but it does little to get rid of the fat if calories are not being burned as energy by the body.

3. Not understanding how to improve these certain areas

Also, a major obstacle is identifying- how-to-improve these challenging areas of the body- by selecting or performing the proper and specific exercises.

So most of the time, many people will use and execute the wrong exercises on the wrong intended areas the triceps/back of the arms and inner thigh muscles as an example; maybe, because lack of knowledge or misguidance.

I hope the following women strength training methods and exercises (including pictures and instructions) will provide you with the extra help and knowledge on how to exercise correctly and effectively.
