So many women think that for some reason lifting weights will result in them bulking up. I don’t know who has drilled this into their heads but its a complete myth! Firstly women don’t have nearly as much testosterone as men do, which means building muscle is much more difficult. Secondly your going to have to be consuming a massive amount of calories whilst going pretty hardcore on the weights to notice any kind of bulk in your muscle which most women don’t do anyway. If your a female and your hesitant about lifting weights for that reason,you need to get that idea out of your head. Weight lifting can be hugely beneficial for women. One of the big benefits is that it helps you burn extra calories because when you break the muscle down it burns calories repairing itself. Another great reason is that it helps sculpt your body. Doing cardio alone will more than likely just result in weight loss, if you want to tone and shape your body, lifting weights will help!

Why can’t i get a 6 pack?

Sorry to break it to you but there is no ” 6 pack shortcut”

These days i come across so many so called ‘experts’ online that tell everyone if they do this certain workout they will get a 6 pack and lose excess stomach fat ect. Sorry but abs are made in the kitchen not in the gym, yes doing certain abdominal exercises will help but the secret to a lean stomach is purely diet and maintaining a low body fat. A lot of these guys on youtube (i won’t name names) are fooling you. What they are forgetting is that the vast majority of their video audience are more than likely out of shape and over weight, so doing countless sit ups in your room everyday will not really get you anywhere if your still eating the same rubbish foods instead of a healthy diet.

So now your asking how do i lose the body fat?

If you want a toned stomach you will firstly need to lose the weight and start eating clean. I would recommend starting with a good cardio routine 3-4 times a week which involves a mixture of high and low intensity training. Doing things like hill sprints and interval training are a great way to keep the intensity high. Also circuit training is another great way to lose weight because involving weights and resistance exercises will help you tone up at the same time. This along with a good strong meal plan and staying away from simple carbs and bad fats will in time result in the stomach that you want! There is no ” 6 pack shortcut ” 

Just something i wanted to clear up, if anyone has any further questions feel free to comment. x
