(Newswire.net — June 20, 2014) Wollongong , NSW —
Most women are afraid that if they lift too many weights they will become bulky and lose their natural womanly curves. As a result they often gravitate towards the cardio machines and high intensity workouts in effort to burn fat and avoid bulking.
The truth is, women who do this will achieve little results. “Girls need to be prepared to lift weights if they want to transform their body” Rachel from Vision Personal Training explains.
As Vision Personal Training Wollongong gears up to run another round of the Womens Body Transformation Challenge, Rachel O’Neill reveals that lifting is a big part of this highly effective program that has transformed the bodies of multiple women in the Wollongong region.
Lifting heavy weights can work wonders for a female’s body and thanks to much lower testosterone levels then men they will not end up looking the Incredible Hulk. In order to bulk up women need to work extremely hard and take testosterone supplements to speed up their muscle growth. This will make them gain muscle at only fraction of the rate men will.
“What many people don’t release is that even after a weight session you are still burning calories” O’Neill explains. When you engage in some heavy weight lifting you create tiny muscular tears throughout the body due to a high level of resistance. Your body will then expend a greater number of calories post-workout as it repairs the tears. As a result of all of this your bodies metabolic rate is increased.
“95% of the women who walk through our doors tell me that they just want to get lean” says Rachel. So the team at Vision Personal Training Wollongong know that weight training is the most effective way to achieve this goal.
If lifting heavy weights is new territory it is important that you learn how to lift weights in a safe and effective way to avoid injuring yourself. “Having the wrong technique when you lift weights can cause a lot of damage, so having a qualified personal trainer teach you some exercises is the best way to get started.”
