BODY BUILDING FOR WOMEN

The reason many body builders use steroids is because they increase water retention in the muscles which leads to an anabolic state.

However, this increase in fluid retention makes the heart work harder which can increase blood pressure and even bring on a heart attack.

All steroids eventually change to estrogen which causes feminization in men. That causes an enlargement of the breasts along with an increase in fatty deposits.

Growth hormones stimulate the elements in the body that make muscles grow. They are naturally produced by the body, but many body builders take them to basically tell their muscles to get bigger. They can be dangerous, though, as well.

You can get huge, ripped muscles without having to resort to using illegal substances like steroids or artificial growth hormones.

They can make you bigger quicker, but the disadvantages far outweigh the

advantages you are taking by introducing these substances into your body.

Body building has long been thought of as a man’s sport, but more and more

women are getting interested in it as well.

Body Building For Women

Some women have never considered bodybuilding as a sport because they are simply concerned that if they weight train, they will end up losing their feminine figure, and instead appear big, bulky and masculine.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Women cannot naturally produce the amount of testosterone that men do, so it is impossible for women to increase their muscle size in the same ways that men do just by picking up a weight or two.

Without artificial substances, women won’t be able to get the same bulk

as men do.

However, many of the same workout advice that we give to men apply to women as well: eat 5-6 small meals per day, drink plenty of water, and get lots of rest.

The workouts are the same as well although some women may want to limit their reps initially until their strength is built up.

Many women struggle with excess fat and flabby muscle tone on their thighs and in their buttocks. Because women are naturally curvier than men, working these areas makes for a very flattering figure.

To work these areas, you will want to do a lot of dumbbell squats, leg curls, standing calf raises, and leg presses.

Add some lunges as well as dumbbell squat dead lifts as well for maximum effectiveness. You may want to invest in an exercise ball so that you can work your abs and make them tight and defined.

Change your workout every time you perform it and focus on one or two body parts each day you train. By doing this, you are not over-exerting muscles without giving them time to heal.

Recovery is very important to the body’s muscles, so give them the time

they need to heal and grow.

Many women live their lives by the numbers that they read on a scale.

When you are bodybuilding for fitness, this is an absolute mistake.

Don’t concentrate on what the scale says you weigh, focus on your size

and tone.
