• May 4, 2024

Having a firm and sculpted body is one of the benefits of weight lifting, an exercise performed mostly by men; Few women dare to do it, for fear of weight gain, so, here we reveal the truths of this discipline.

Weight training is a way to shape the body; elevates muscle tone and volume; increases the loss of fat, so it can be done by anyone, regardless of their gender.

It is thought that women who practice weights tend to be masculinized, because it is taken as a reference to those who practice bodybuilding as a profession, but that is not the model. The weights allow to have a firm and marked body, without reaching those extremes.

Reality

Weight training does not cause sterility; No sport by itself causes hormonal alterations that affect the body of those who practice it.

Aerobics help burn fat, but exercise with weights allows you to shape the body shape; promotes the gain of muscle mass and accelerates the loss of fat by increasing the metabolic rate.

Benefits

The most recommended weight training sessions are short, intense and very effective. They stimulate muscles and burn fat. The instructors recommend practicing weights three days a week, alternating with two days of aerobics, to have optimal results.
 

With the weights, the muscles grow while you rest, so the burning of calories will be throughout the day and your metabolism will accelerate. You will lose weight, even in your rest time.
