I train with women regularly as they are much more disciplined then men but I was so shy that it took me years to muster the courage to ask. Best decision I have taken so far.
Strength training for women has numerous benefits and actually help prevent injuries. Many women when exercising use just a treadmill or elliptical cardio machine, avoiding weight for fears they will look like a man or simply are not sure exactly how to incorporate them into their current routine. Using weights in your routine burns fat faster. It also can help keep you motivated and provide clear fast results. If you want toned legs, abs, and arms, you are going to have to pick up those weights. Want that beach body? Even if it’s snowing outside think of that beach! It will keep you motivated.
There are a few things to remember you get started to stay free of injuries.
- Always make sure you follow a warm-up routine. Warming up prevent soft-tissue tears and muscle injury. Use very light weight and go through 10-20 reps of one exercise to get your blood flowing to the parts of the body you're about to use.
- Form and technique are very important in your routine. The way you do the exercises can injury your back very quickly if you're doing them wrong. This is the number one reported injury for women when using free weights, so be careful, take it slow, and make sure you're using proper form. Always keep your spine straight, and bend only at the knees, not your waist.
- Exercise equipment can make your routine more enjoyable. If they are maintained well they can also help prevent injuries, by not using free weights and they help control your posture and form. This is a great way to start out! Make sure you have good grip on your shoes, and mats are under the equipment. Cleaning the equipment is a great idea before and after you use them, but if you don’t dry them well your hands can slip.
- Read all the instructions on any equipment you use for the first time.
- Inhale when you lift and exhale when you release the weight.
-
Give your body one day between working out the same muscles with weights again. They need time to heal, repair, and gain strength. Cardio can be done daily, and mix in arms one day, and legs the next day. Ab work can be done daily so just 5 minutes a day will start great quick results.
The main thing to remember is that
1: you won’t bulk up even if you use free weights.
-
Squats and deadlift are hard but they make you look amazing.

We are deeply appreciative of the women’s body and we worship you like godesses when you train. Thank you for doing that. You don’t know it but you probably are the main reason at least one guy in the gym even train so you are doing your part to make the world a better place. Heck, I wouldn’t have been training 5 days a week without missing a single session without you godesses walking around in between sets, sweating, getting into shape and just being the ridiculously good looking creature you all are. Every single one of you has that special something that makes you very attractive and most of us are either too shy or too upfront about it but we THANK you.
Never be afraid of being too this or that to go to the gym! It’s just not true. You are perfect just the way you are and we love you. You smell good, you look good, you make the world a better place just by being!
