Fitness B&W Offers New Weight Lifting Strategies For Women
/EINPresswire.com/ Many women find it difficult to slim down and tone up. With some of the new exercise strategies though, the weight lifting aspect has become a great piece of the puzzle for many women.
When it comes to working out and getting "in shape" many women are finding that the common advice being promoted just doesn't work. The truth is though, that there are certainly some very effective techniques for women lifting weights to tone up but these methods are just not being taught on a large scale.
Take for example, the very popular advice of lifting light weights and high reps to tone up. It turns out that lifting light weights and high reps is the complete OPPOSITE of what women should actually do in the weight room if they want to tone their muscles.
That's right, lifting high reps with light weight not only doesn't help women tone up, it actually builds the size of the muscle and gives it a soft, round and bloated look.
The reason this occurs is due largely to the fact that this creates a pump in the muscle known as sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. This type of hypertrophy causes an increase of the fluid in the muscle, making it larger and less toned.
So, how should women lift weights? A good technique for weight lifting to tone up is to do strength training. Although it seems at first that this would create a larger muscle, it turns out that strength training is actually a poor way to build size but a great way to build tone and definition.
A major reason that strength training is such a good approach to building a toned muscle and not a large muscle is because this type of weight lifting causes myofibrillar hypertrophy. This means that the type of growth (hypertrophy) is going to be of the actual muscle fibers themselves and not the amount of fluids in them. When the muscle fibers are strengthened they create a harder, more toned look.

To complete an ideal weight lifting routine for a woman, more often than not there should be some cardio involved as well. Determining what the best type of cardio is may seem like a challenge, but there are some good resources online.
The type of cardio ultimately depends on how much weight, if any, needs to be lost.
