Strength Training for Weight Loss for Women

There is a common myth that women should only focus on cardio workouts rather than weight training. Well, times have changed now, and workouts for women have certainly changed a lot.

In earlier days people used to think that weight training is only for men, and if women start weight training then they might end up looking like men. Well, to be honest, weight training is meant for both men and women.

So, in today’s post, we are going to focus on strength training for weight loss for women and how they can achieve it.

Well, joining a gymnasium is the first step, but do you have any idea how many people are doing the same thing?

The overcrowded gyms are no longer attractive, and you will have to wait a lot before getting your hands on the machine. So, if you want to gain strength, then body weight workouts are the best.

Also there is a monthly fee to pay that can become expensive over time, plus, the dropout rate is extremely high due to motivation, when you join a gym you’re pretty much left to do what you want with no guidance unless you pay more money for a trainer.

Try the TRX Suspension training, and you can save a lot of time, money  and gain an amazing body.

One of the best things about TRX suspension training is the fact that you can do it perfectly at home without worrying about anything else.

Below we have described seven workouts that will help you in losing weight through TRX workouts

• Pushups through TRX Suspension

We all know that pushups are a wonderful workout making use of your chest, shoulder and back muscles. Now the same pushup with the TRX suspension is quite amazing and challenging too. First, you will have to stand facing against the TRX, and the feet should have shoulder-width distance and hold the handle of TRX at chest height. Now lean forward and make sure that only elbows are moving to lean forward. Now come back to the starting position. This is one of the most basic strength training for weight loss for women.

• Inverted Rowing

Now this TRX workout for women is amazing for strong back muscles. Rowing is all about using your back muscles. So, in this case, you will have to lie down facing the TRX, after that the knees will be bent and the feet will be on the ground. You will have to pull yourself up using the elbows. This position will put pressure on your back muscles. This strength training for weight loss for women will also work on your core muscles.

• Triceps workout

Now for this workout, you will have to face against the TRX suspension cable. Now hold the handle just in front of your face. The palm should be placed on the handle facing opposite to the face, and the angle of elbows should be 90 degrees. Now bent forward using the elbows till your hands are straight, and return to the same position. This will ensure that your triceps muscles are getting worked out using your body weight. This workout is amazing for women trying to lose extra fat from their arms.

• Biceps Curl

Now since all the workouts listed here are based on body weight training, so working on biceps will also be done like that. Now this is similar to triceps workout, but in this case, you will have to stand facing towards the TRX suspension cable, and while holding the handle, your palms should face towards your face. Now lean backward and let the arm be straight. Using the elbows pull yourself up and then get back to the first position. This will exert pressure on your biceps. At first, this might seem to be pretty tough, but once you get used to it, it will not be so tough.

• Lunges

Now for a strong leg, lunges is the best workout for women. This strength training for weight loss for women involves placing your left foot on both the handles and stretch the right foot forward. After that, you will have to bend your knees lower on the ground and make it parallel to the floor. Now get back up to the initial starting position. Make sure that you are doing this simultaneously with both the legs. Now as this is body weight workout, it is going to pain a little, but with time you will get used to it.

Now before you start with these workouts, you must keep some important things in mind.

• Make sure that you are resting within workouts

Now this is very important since you don’t want to drain out all of your energy while doing a single workout. Don’t drink much too water within the sets, as it will make you feel quite full. So, it’s better to drink only a little water between the sets.

• Intensity should be high

Don’t be lazy during workouts, always keep sure that your intensity is pretty good. Now, also make sure that you are not rushing through the workouts. These strength training for weight loss for women workouts should be done with proper form and with proper speed. So, maintaining a good posture and keeping a good intensity is very important.

• Always stay hydrated

Now we all know that TRX suspension cables are pretty effective, but apart from the workouts, make sure that you are keeping yourself hydrated throughout the day. It’s advisable that you drink around 2-3 liters of water every single day. This will detox your body, and it will also ensure that you are burning enough fat even when you are not working out.

• Eat Healthily

As they say, you are what you eat. So, it doesn’t matter how much you are working out, but if you are not eating clean, then don’t expect to see results. A healthy diet is the key to success.

So, these are some of the most important tips that you must understand to lose weight quickly and effectively. These workouts for strength training for weight loss for women are very effective, and it will help you a lot. If you think that you are getting tired too early, then increase your protein intake and eat lots of fruits too.

Hey, I’m Steven.

I have been in the fitness industry for about 12 years and believe me I have seen it all! I became a fitness enthusiast when I was on holiday with my two daughters. We were walking down the beach when suddenly my youngest (the braver out of the two) just started running up what I would describe as a mountain.

Spurred on by her little sister my eldest then started to run up this steep cliff, well you can imagine my heart was pounding and my head was spinning thinking about the danger they are now both in, I started to run up after them.

My heart wasn’t just pounding at this point it felt like it was going to stop, I was so unfit that I was struggling to protect my children. When I finally caught up to them I was so out of breath I couldn’t even tell them off!!

Well any way cut the next few years short I joined a gym and really got the passion for fitness and helping people, I made a concious decision, I want this for a career. I went college and learned different aspects of fitness and got my first job in a gym.

After about four years helping people nationally I decided to travel the UK for the next year and a half to help more and I loved it.

However, this wasn’t to last as tragedy fell and my best friend who shared this journey with me passed away, and that’s when I decided to reach out to more people on the internet and the birth of bustingmyfatbelly.com arose.

Thats my story I would love you to pop over to my site and tell me yours.

Steven
