Women and weight training


Don’t panic! You will not bulk up and look like the incredible hulk, there are many wrong attitudes out there regarding women and weight training.

If you have never done it before the chances are you have the lean muscle mass of a jelly fish, and if you’ve been trying to lose weight, you probably have the metabolism of a bed bug. Next to getting oxygen pumping through our lungs, the best thing we can do is increase our lean body mass, that’s right……grow some muscle!!

The first thing that happens when we do this is our body turns into a fat burning furnace. Muscles are living, fat just hangs around, and that means our muscles burn calories even while we sleep.

Fat takes up five times as much room in our bodies when compared to muscle, that’s right, one kilo of fat takes up to five times more room than one kilo of muscle…..so what would you rather have hanging off your thighs?

Weight training will...

  • Improve muscle tone and speed up metabolism.
  • Assist weight loss.
  • Prevent bone degeneration.
  • Make you feel strong, fit, and alive.
  • Get rid of those flabby bits.

Exercise  is important, however results depend more on your diet. At Real we know what works, no matter what your starting point is, or how little exercise you do, we make it very simple for you to start succeeding.
