Workout routines for womenThis page has workout routines for women, specifically designed to tone and burn fat, light resistance workouts that can be done at home or in the gym. Many women avoid weight training because they don't want to become bulky or muscular, this is a common myth. Men are able to increase there muscle mass significantly due to the hormone testosterone, women have very little testosterone so the ability to become bulky is very unlikely, and even for most men it's still difficult to increase muscle mass, it requires heavy weight training with a high protein diet and it can still take months to see a noticeable difference. You shouldn't be afraid of resistance training, a very small amount of muscle increase across your whole body will have great fat burning benefits. To get toned you must add resistance training for your whole body. Benefits of resistance training Aerobics With weight training you can also change the shape of your body, if you are unhappy with a particular area, you can train specific areas to mold your body. Larger firmer glutes/buttocks will give the appearance of wider hips and a slimmer waist, a slight muscle increase in the pectorals will create a larger chest. Repetitions There is a general rule with wight training, low reps for muscle building and high reps for toning, but don't worry about using low reps, most people including men find it very difficult to put on noticeable muscle mass.
