Women’s Fitness
Women tend to be more concerned about their body shape and the need to stay fit and active. With the number of things that women do throughout the day they require larger amounts of energy to deal with work, home and family. Scientist says that gender and genetics are responsible for the kind of body type we have. Women are built to be more delicate than men and the kind of body shape also depends on the rate of metabolism. Genetics play their role in determining how much weight you are capable of gaining and losing. Therefore where women’s fitness is concerned it is best not to go by general standards but to first realize your body type and developing a plan that corresponds to it and will prove to be effective. Therefore women's fitness workouts must begin by identifying your body type so that you can draw up a suitable workout routine. Physiologists suggest that women’s bodies can be broadly be divided into three main types, the first are lean, tall and long limbed and slimly built. Women with this kind of a body type have a high metabolic rate and naturally do not put on excessive weight. They do not need to do too much of exercise as controlling their diet and a 20 minute workout will help them to stay fit and healthy. The second body type is of women are short limbed, round and big boned, such body types are often referred to as “pear shaped”. Women with this kind of a body type tend to put on weight easily and their body stores up the fat very easily and makes it harder for these kinds of women to lose weight. Such women will have to follow a strict workout regime for at least 30-40 minutes in a day in order to burn more calories. Tougher exercises and longer workout session would help to control the body shape and a correct diet will help to increase metabolism. The third body type of women is with an athletic sturdy build and a square torso. They tend to develop more muscle than fat when they gain weight. This kind of body types require more of stretches and crunches as part of their workout routines so that they muscles can be toned in the proper way. It is not necessary to have to fall in line with any one of these types, most women tend to have a combination of these body types and there for it is best that they follow specific women's fitness workout routines.
Women’s Workout Routines
Women’s workout routines should include the right amount of stretches and crunches along with some aerobic exercises, the bench press, dead lift, pull ups, strength training and flexibility exercises and most importantly weight management through a proper nutritional diet. Apart from that easy workout routines can include skipping rope for 15 minutes a day or doing 20 laps in a pool. These are applicable to all body types and can help to maintain body weight and improve the general condition of the body. Women like to have their own space and time to do their workouts and most times women tend to give up half way due to lack of motivation or pressures of family life. Thus it is best to join a gym or a club so that having other likeminded people around you will help you to continue and even get you to enjoy it while you work in a group. Women’s health is directly proportionate to the women’s fitness level and is a very delicate issue, therefore it needs the correct amount of attention. |
