Exercise Routines For Women - Why Exercise Routines for Men Can’t Be Used With Women

I see it all the time... trainers giving men and women the same exercise routines. Forget the fact that men and women are built differently, so therefore need different types of workout routines... but also, each person has different goals.

So I'm going to show women how to create an effective workout routine in this article.

First the differences between men and women training...

Women gain fat in their thighs, butt, and hips areas... generally speaking. This of course has to do with the biological factor of giving birth to children.

Men tend to gain fat in their bellies and waist areas. This is a good place to store fat in case of starvation. Easy access to your digestive system for quick energy. This has to do with starvation being a problem going back thousands of years ago. So knowing this, how can women build an effective exercise routine for themselves.

First, women need to work their lower body more often than men. Legs, butt, hips... they all need more attention. Assuming your busy like most of us, here's a quick exercise routine to do 3 times a week for 40 minutes. After 4-5 weeks, change the routine since the body will have adjusted to it and stopped gaining any benefits from it. This routine will consist of 2 weightlifting exercises, 1 cardio exercise, and 2 at-home exercises.

Squats... do 6 sets of 10 repetitions. The deeper you squat, the more it works your butt.

Deadlifts (where you pick a barbell up off the ground and stand straight up... keeping your back straight the whole time)... do 6 sets of 10 repetitions. Keep your head up, eyes looking forward the whole time, and back and neck in alignment and straight. No arching.

The best way to do this if you can is to do 1 set of squats, rest 1 minute, do 1 set of deadlifts, rest 1 minute, then go back to 1 set of squats. Keep going back and forth between the 2 exercises. This is better for recovery than just doing 6 sets of 1 exercise all in a row. So that's it with your weightlifting exercises.

Next, do some cardio. Jump on the elliptical machine. This is a nice low impact machine that is better than the treadmill. The best way to use this is to do high intensity intervals on it followed by low intensity intervals. This is how you do that... do 10 seconds on it as fast as possible. Go all out. After that, keep going, just go slow on it for 20-30 seconds. This is called "active rest" since you are resting, however you're still exercising.

So just continue doing that for a total of about 5-6 minutes. Once you're done with that set, rest for 1-2 minutes and drink some water. Then hop back on the machine and repeat that for 2 more sets of 6 minutes. You just got a great, highly effective and efficient workout with just 2 weightlifting exercises and 1 cardio exercise.

Now, to round this out you'll need to do an upper body exercise. I suggest you do pushups at home. Your goal for pushups is simple... do 50 repetitions a day for 3 days. Don't even worry about how many repetitions you can do in a set. Just do as many as you can and rest. Then repeat and repeat and repeat again until you get your 50 total repetitions for the day.

What works great and keeps you fresh is to do 5-10 repetitions at a time then forget about pushups. Then do another 5-10 repetitions an hour later when you have some free time. One way I do this is I use TV commercials to do pushups. I simply do 10 per commercial. After 5 commercials, I'm done. Easy.

So there you go. Forget exercise routines for women that were created for guys. Use the above exercise routine for women to shape your way into a thinner, more sexy, and less fat body.
