The ratio of women on treadmills, elliptical machines and stair climbers to women in the free weight section of gyms across America is staggering. Women by far spend 75%-100% of their time in gyms avoiding any strength training exercises. Countless studies have shown that in order for women to truly get to where they want, to get those Kelly Rippa arms or a tight toned back strength training is where they need to be spending their time!
Would you like to continue to burn calories and keep your metabolism revving for 12-48 hours after you have finished your workout? Then get off those treadmills and elliptical machines and spend some time in the weight and machine sections of your gym. Now I am not saying give up completely on your beloved (or maybe it’s despised:) cardio sessions, but why spend an hour running like a hamster on a machine when you could spend 10,20 or 30 minutes doing a circuit burn with free weights, exercise bands or medicine balls and get better results in less time!
Read this article here http://mylinkfit.com/blog/2009/06/women-vs-weights/ that I wrote for my wife actually and stay tuned for a great circuit burn workout tomorrow that will have you feeling completely gassed after the first 10 minutes, sore the next day but on the path to tighter, toned , stronger muscles and more important stronger bones and a faster metabolism.
