At the time of establishing the personalized training program, the fairer sex is often biased in regards to the use of weights, tools and isotonic machines, as it fears to "swell" the parts of the body that he already considers "big".
The goal is common to all: to obtain a physical form that highlights the female figure, focusing above all on the "critical" areas of the body: hips, abdomen, thighs and buttocks in the first place.
In this regard, I would like to clarify that the increase in musculature is certainly the result of good weight training, which is usually practiced by men. However, muscle growth can be attributed to the presence of some hormones, such as testosterone, which obviously are not present in women to such an extent as to lead to conspicuous hypertrophy, as happens in men . The incredible muscular development in women who compete is in fact attributable to the use of drugs that increase these hormonal levels.
If you have bulky legs, thighs, buttocks and arms, this will be due only to the presence of subcutaneous fat.
By training with weights, in addition to doing an aerobic job the superfluous fat will be replaced with the musculature, which remains less and less bulky than the fat, even with the same weight. In addition, a greater presence of musculature increases energy expenditure, which leads to an increase in basal metabolism: essentially more fat will be burned. !!
So it is important to remember that even if you could convert all the fat into muscles - which is very unlikely because this requires advanced and targeted training techniques, which are usually not recommended to the fairer sex - you will have a slimmer figure and tonic, although the scale always indicates the same body weight or even a few kg more.
WHAT WORKOUT I RECOMMEND?
Usually complex exercises, that is all those exercises that recall the use of a muscular chain, strongly stimulating the metabolism, continuing to burn many calories even after physical activity. Women who are more likely to put on muscle mass easily must perform no less than 12/15 repetitions per set.
In the case of well-trained women, to avoid vasoconstriction and lactic acid, which promotes annoying skin imperfections such as cellulite, I recommend activating the anaerobic alattacid metabolism, with a few repetitions 4/5 sustained loads, creating a good trophism with the consequent increase of metabolism, without giving the body the chance to accentuate these imperfections.
A good compromise between aerobic work and with weights will benefit the physical appearance and could also help to fight the very hateful cellulite blemishes.
Obviously a healthy diet and a correct lifestyle should not be overlooked.
Healthy habits and primary rules in nutrition and rest will help us to achieve our goals and keep them for a long time. Only in this way, in a natural way and without forced taxation, given by fluctuating periods of stress and useless "violence" on oneself, will real and appreciable results be obtained.
