Workout Routines for Women: Focus on Fit not Thin

Leave a Comment



So the question of the day is, what are the best Workout Routines for Women? 

Men and women often seek out very different routes when looking to get healthy. Most men are looking to lift weights, build muscle, and increase their size, while most women often focus on cardio in an attempt to get thin. Though of course this isn't always the case, and certainly in the past few years as a better understanding about how exercise impacts not only our health but also how we look has developed, both sides have started to branch out.

While men and women are different, they don't necessarily need to train differently. If you're goal is achieving better health and getting your body to it's happy weight, then you'll want a program that combines lifting weights and cardio. 

Remember, success is not the number on the scale, but really about how your clothes fit, how you feel on a daily basis, and what you're body is able to do (i.e.: play with your kids, hike a mountain, move your furniture...etc.). 

As you exercise more you will start to lose fat and gain muscle, but your weight may stay the same, it's all about what your body composition is that makes the difference.

Workout Routines for Women: Change Focus from Thin to Toned


When you’re designing a workout plan, you should make sure that you incorporate weight lifting and other toning exercises like body-weight exercise along with some cardio.  In fact, the most effective plan is to have some cardio, some resistance training, and of course a good nutrition plan.

The good news is, there are plenty of workout programs out there that can be accomplished without the need to buy special workout equipment, and they often have a good variety of cardio and resistance days mixed in to them, so you don't have to make up a program all on your own.  If you have comfortable clothing that’s easy to move in and good athletic shoes, you’re already good to go! 

One of my favorite getting started programs (for men and women) is the 21 Day Fix, which is designed to get you toned and into shape fast with equal focus on weights, cardio, and the best nutrition plan out there. 

Another great option is to sign-up for access to online streaming workouts like the ones from Beachbody On-Demand which gives you instant access to a vast library of programs that allows you to find a workout that best suits your goals. 

It also allows you to change things up whenever you get bored. This will help keep you moving and motivate you to achieve your goals.

Which ever program you choose, it's likely to have all of the aspects you need to consider to get the results you're looking for (part of the benefit of using a program designed by fitness trainers).
