The Most Common Women’s Fitness Myths: Part 1

Oct 152011

I bet at one point and time in your life, you believed in the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, or santa claus. Later in life, you found out this belief was false. I am willing to bet you believe in some fitness myths that simply are not true. Let’s have a look at some of the most common myths and the underlying truths to them.

1. I don’t lift weights because I don’t want to bulk up.

After training hundreds of women, giving dozens of seminars, and speaking with still hundreds more about working out, this is the most common statement I get from women about why they do not strength train. The good news is, women only have about one-third the testosterone a male has therefore making it highly unlikely you will bulk up. You say; the first thing that comes to mind is all these women I see on TV are huge with bulky muscles. First of all, these women have a very unique gene set. Secondly, they are taking testosterone and growth hormone injections. Thirdly, they are training hours a day under the close scrutiny of a personal trainer and a nutritionist. So, the good news is you do not have to worry about bulking up. The facts are, increasing lean muscle mass from strength training will: 1.Decrease your body fat. 2.Make your body more firm and compact. 3.Increase your metabolism. 4.Increase your energy. Take a look at some of these celebrities that strength train frequently: Jennifer Garner, Madonna, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Fergie, any of the Desperate Housewives. The list goes on and on. Do any of these women look bulky? Not hardly. Most of these women are the epitome of the body every woman wants to have. Lastly, you say; I can feel my arms getting bigger, my legs getting wider, and so forth on. Do not rely on a subjective feeling. Instead get cold hard objective data. I have dealt with this situation before. Have your measurements taken by a professional and see for yourself. BUSTED!

2. Higher repetitions will help me tone up.

Higher repetitions are a component of muscular endurance. While muscular endurance is an important part of overall physical fitness, it is not a part of muscular strength. Muscular strength is dependent upon stressing the muscles enough for them to adapt and change to work more efficiently. When they become more efficient, this is where the increase in strength and lean muscle mass occurs. Think of it this way; you can carry a five pound bag of groceries up and down the street probably for hours on end. However, replace that five pound grocery bag with a sixty pound sand bag. You are going to: 1.use more energy. 2.In turn, burn more fat. 3.Increase lean muscle mass. 4.Look more firm and TONE. BUSTED!

What’s the Right Physical Training Frequency?

Fitness No Responses »

Oct 152011

As controversial as what physical training methods to use is the topic of physical training frequency.

Physical training frequency is how often you should physically train to get optimum performance improvements to reach your fitness training goals.

Let me first ask you a question…

Why do we participate in physical fitness training programs in the first place?

No, I’m not talking about all the benefits of exercise that we commonly hear or even the desire to look better.

I’m talking about what makes it necessary for us to add physical training into our daily lifestyle.

Why can’t we just do without it?

For the answer, we must look back in time…

Early men and women did not have to add physical training to their lifestyle… because daily life was so demanding that it made extra physical activity unnecessary.

Our bodies were not only made to survive in this demanding world… but flourish in it.

The world has become considerably less demanding… but our bodies don’t know that.

Human evolution is way behind the advancements of mankind.

But what does all this have to do with physical training frequency?

Simply put…

If our bodies were made to adapt and flourish to a high level of activity in a demanding environment, and the environment that we currently live in no longer provides the stimulus necessary for this adaptation and flourishing, than our physical training must make up the difference.

OK, taking this into account… what do you think our physical training frequency should be?

That’s right… our physical training frequency should be every day!

Oh, I know… Everybody has been brainwashed by the body building community and commercial fitness industry to believe that the best physical training frequency should be every other day, or 3 times a week.

Actually, depending on what type of muscle building program you are on… the recommended physical training frequency can even be less.

But remember this…

Bodybuilders are interested in increasing muscle mass… not improving over-all fitness levels to get optimal usage out of the body.

Now, I have nothing against increasing muscle size… but I do have a problem with increasing muscle size at the expense of strength, conditioning and fitness levels.

But wait a minute… If I am recommending a physical training frequency of every day, what about overtraining?

Again… if you are training to force your body to grow muscle, overtraining would be a real concern with such a high physical training frequency.

But what if your were physically training to “optimize” your strength, conditioning and fitness levels by improving 10 different physical abilities… and used different training methods, intensities and stresses in your training to do so?

That’s right… strength, conditioning and fitness improvement without the fear of overtraining.

If you want to reach your true physical potential, you must train your body in the manner in which it was made to be used.

Our bodies were designed not only to survive, but to flourish, in a cruel and harsh environment… an environment that would be physically demanding each and every day.

Do you really think body building type training and moderate, aerobic exercise 3 days a week can make up for our otherwise undemanding lives?

I’ve never heard a caveman say, “Sorry, Saber-Tooth Tiger, I can’t wrestle with you today because it is my day off. I have a strength and conditioning workout scheduled for Monday, so do you think we could wrestle then?”

If you want to meet the random challenges of sport, work and life with excellence… your physical training frequency must reflect that desire.

P90X Is For Women

Fitness No Responses »

Oct 142011

I don’t want to have large muscles like a man. P90X is too tough for me. I can’t do all those pull ups and push ups. These are the thoughts women have when seeing P90X. Well, I’m here to squash those thoughts, so that you can get on the path to the look you want.

I was no fitness guru before I started this program. In fact, I hated to exercise. I was always trying to lose weight without exercising or by doing just enough to meet the 30 minute requirement. I had the same fears as most women when I saw the P90X program, but something, I guess frustration with failure, pushed me to move forward.

I had the same concern about the large, burly look. However, my husband helped me to understand that this concern was silly. Think about it, do you really think that you can go from 30 pounds overweight to a body builder in 90 days? People take years to build that type of muscle and a woman’s body is not designed to gain muscle in that way as easily. I have done P90X for 8 months now and while I have muscles and a toned look, it is nowhere near the look of a man or a body builder.

P90X has two programs, classic and lean. I have chosen to do the classic version and that is what I recommend you start with. However, if you are still concerned about the look you will get, the lean version may be for you. That version is more cardio oriented with a smaller amount of resistance training. However, if you do choose to go with the classic version, Tony Horton recommends that you decrease the weight and increase the number of reps you do of each move. This will give you a leaner, more toned look. Each resistance training video features a woman doing the increased reps, so you will have someone to identify with.

Don’t feel intimidated by the entire fitness routine. Tony Horton’s phrase throughout the videos is “Do your best and forget the rest.” Hold true to this and do what you can. Do push ups on your knees and only do as many as you can. Replace pull ups with the resistance bands. Only do as much of the video as you feel comfortable with. If you do 15 minutes of the video the first week, push to 20 minutes the second week. Keep this up until you are completing the entire series. When I started, I could only do about 20 minutes of each video. I am now doing the entire strength training video and the Ab Ripper X video in one sitting.

Is P90X for women? Yes. It is absolutely for women. Resistance training combined with cardio burns more fat and helps to increase your metabolism. Resistance training can give a firm, toned look and you can take it one step at a time. Many women, from all areas of life, have found success with the P90X program and so will you!

Weight Loss Tip #1

Start by taking a close look at your diet. Most women do not get the essential vitamins and nutrients that they need daily. Make sure you eat three meals a day and two snacks. Skipping meals can slow down your metabolism and cause you to gain weight with what you do eat.

Weight Loss Tip #2

Pay attention to portion control too. Eating too much at one meal can cause you have an increase in calorie intake at the end of the day. Make smart food choices too so that you are not hungry. Fresh fruit of vegetables work very well for snacks. Avoid drinks that are high in sugar and caffeine. Replace them with water and green tea. They both have powerful antioxidants.

You will also have more energy when you eat right. This in turn means you can feel energized for exercises. While 30 minutes a day of exercise is standard for everyone, women taking birth control pills should strive for 45 minutes a day. Take part in exercises that you enjoy too so that you feel motivated to stick with it.

Weight Loss Tip #4

Adequate sleep at night will also help you to lose weight so do not cut yourself short when it comes to a good night of rest. Research shows that women that do not sleep enough are more likely to gain weight. Pay attention to the signals your body gives you because each woman can require different amounts of rest. Try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day too. This helps your body to stay on schedule and you will fall asleep faster at night.

There is no reason that taking birth control pills must result in a woman gaining weight.
