If you start now, you will be proud to show off your sculpted legs and arms by mid-summer. Let's start with a training routine that has worked for millions of athletes - both beginners and veterans. Weight training is one of the greatest methods to redesign your body shape. A common mistake among women who lift weights is the weights themselves, fitness experts say. If you're not getting firm muscles, you probably are not lifting enough weight.
Muscles respond to fatigue and challenge during weight lifting.
If you can lift a weight up to 12 times and can't possibly do one more, you're lifting the correct amount. If after the 12 repetition you can do a lot more, you need to switch to a heavier weight. Weight train with a buddy for mutual support and encouragement. Lots of women say they can't lift another weight but when pushed, they surprise themselves. If you tell yourself you can push one more set or a few more lifts, you will succeed.
