Women Weight Training Program and Workout!
Women avoid weight training as much as men love it. The reason
women are reluctant to work out with weights is only because
they feel they might end up looking like female body builders.
But before jumping onto any conclusions, consider this:
. Lifting a baby who weighs anything from four kilos to ten
kilos is done on the spur of the moment.
. Lifting one or two liters of water-filled jars at a time is
another chore most women do unthinkingly.
. Picking and lifting pieces of furnitures, cooking utensils
and such other items are done daily.
Women have been lifting weight everyday for years and this
hasn't made them muscle-bound, so how can a few weight -bearing
exercises?
Weight training is not only about looking good and sporting a
muscular body. It's also one form of exercise with untold
benefits.
It may be difficult to believe but weight bearing exercises
help to:
. Strengthen one's body.
. Build a strong skeletal structure.
. Stay slim as muscles burn more calories during rest.
. Look good.
. Maintain flexibility of joints.
. Cope with daily chores efficiently.
Random Tip: Modern day thinking is that if the "core" of
one's body is strong then the rest of the body stays strong as
well. The core is the centre of one's body which comprises
abdomen, the back, shoulder and pelvic girdle. If one works
towards the health of these centres, then the rest of the body
will stay fit as well.

Muscle Building at Home: Develop core stability!
. Adopt correct posture where one pulls in the abdomen while
standing or sitting. This is purely a contraction which is
muscular in nature and helps tone and tighten the deep layers of
muscles in the abdomen, pelvic girdle and the back.
. Keep the back straight by pulling the shoulder blades down
and back and the spine completely free of stress in the lower
region. To find this neutral position of the lower back or the
lumbar spine, stand with legs shoulder width apart and tilt
pelvis forward once and once to the back. In both these
movements, you will realize that the 'feel' of the lower back
alignment isn't right and you need to stand straight to get the
right lower back alignment. This means the area between the
navel and the public bone should be held in, the lower back
should be held in neutral and the shoulders should be pulled
back, down and relaxed.
. Maintain the posture while working around the house and in a
few weeks you will notice small changes in the way you look and
feel and the way your body starts maintaining correct alignment
and strength while at work.

The goal of core training should be to gain maximum strength
and stability in these areas. Dont let muscle building mind
games such as " Exercises are boring" or the fear of looking
muscular overpower you. The biggest favour you can do to
yourself is REGULAR EXERCISE.
Random Fact: Weight training helps in more ways than
one. It makes you stronger and slimmer without making you look
like a wrestler.
