Women’s Training - An Introduction
Introduction
Many women go to the gym and do hours and hours of cardio with the aim of ‘toning up’ and end up simply smaller versions of themselves, with similar percentages of lean body mass and fat. This is not toning.
Toning involves building muscle and losing fat, to create a firmer, leaner physique with a higher proportion of lean body mass compared to fat.
For those who fear that they will develop huge muscles if they so much as look at a set of dumbbells, worry not! It is very difficult to develop large amounts of muscle mass due to the influence of the circulating female hormones and only very low levels of natural testosterone.
While many natural female body builders develop significant muscle mass, this is from training hard and eating right over a period of many years before achieving competition standard.
For the average recreational female trainer, a lean toned physique can be achieved without the worry of gaining excessive mass.
