Weight Lifting Exercises For Women: The Only Way To Become a Goddess
There are two things that keep women from adding weight lifting exercises for women to their gym regimen:
1. The fear of becoming overdeveloped and unfeminine, and
2. The belief that you have to join a weight lifting gym in order to do it.
The good news is that neither is true.
Allow me to explain.
The women you see on Muscle Magazine have been weight training for years, and they have a highly specific diet they stick to in order to build muscle mass—lots of it.
So, unless you’re reading the same materials, clocking the same gym hours, and taking the same supplement cocktail as Helga Hamstrung the female King of muscle, don’t be afraid to add a few weight lifting exercises for women to tone your body and keep it strong and sexy.
What’s even better, you don’t have to join a gym. There are plenty of weight lifting exercises for women that can be done right in the home, using a combination of inexpensive dumbbells—available at any sporting goods store—and resistance work to get a comprehensive workout.
Here are a couple of exercises to get you started:
Biceps
Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart, and your dumbbells at your sides, palms facing your hips. Keep your elbows in, and raise the dumbbells to your shoulders. If you need to use your body in order to complete the lift, the dumbbells are too heavy. Hold in the upper lift position, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to your sides.
Triceps
Stand in the same position as you did for the biceps exercise, but with one hand on the hip and the other raised above your head—arm bent, with the dumbbell behind your head. Then, without moving your arm from the shoulder to the elbow, raise the dumbbell up until your arm is straight (but not locked) and hold for five seconds before lowering slowly back to behind your head.
Shoulders
Assume the same position of the biceps exercise, including the “at rest” dumbbell position. But instead of lifting your arms, lift your shoulders—rolling them slowly.
Back
Same position as for biceps again, but this time your are going to keep your palms facing your hips as you bring up your arms, fully extended, up to shoulder height—almost as if your arms were wings and you wanted to fly away. Hold and slowly bring your arms down back to your sides.
Forearms
Find a place in your home where you can stand and place your arm across a surface at about elbow height. The corner of a kitchen counter works, as well as the back of a sofa. Place your forearm (elbow side down) across the surface, with the dumbbell and your palm facing up. Then, bend your hand at the wrist toward you. Hold, and release slowly. Be careful not to release your fingers too much because the dumbbell will fall.
Legs
Stand up straight, feet together, dumbbells in each hand. Then lunge forward with one leg, so that your back knee almost touches the floor (but not quite!). Hold for five seconds, and then come back to standing before lunging with the opposite leg.

The New Rules of Lifting For Life $14.99 A customizable-and realistic-fitness program specifically created for midlifers who want to lose weight, revitalize energy, and build habits for increased longevity. Today's exercising adults are caught in a bind: Those who take it seriously and work out aggressively end up with chronic aches and pains in midlife because they don't know how to adjust their programs as they get older. And those who take it easy end up with overfed, underdeveloped bodies that don't respond well when they decide to get serious about exercise. Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove, fitness experts and authors of The New Rules of Lifting series know all too well that these readers need a program of their own. That's because they are these readers. Schuler started working out in his early teens. After forty years, he realized he couldn't do the programs in his own books without lots of modifications. And Cosgrove, a former European champion in tae kwon do, is a two- time survivor of stage IV cancer who found himself with limited endurance and a body that stubbornly refused to add muscle or shed fat. So the authors set out to create a new template for exercise, one that delivers serious results but is also flexible enough to accommodate individual limitations. The New Rules of Lifting for Life offers a six-month plan that balances total-body strength, endurance, mobility, balance, coordination, and athleticism. The workouts are challenging and, in conjunction with the suggested diet modifications, will help readers change the way their bodies look, feel, and perform. And not just temporarily- The New Rules of Lifting for Life allows you to enjoy productive and pain-free workouts for many years to come. |

Exercise for Your Muscle Type $9.99 Most exercise books offer a generic, one-size-fits-all approach to fitness, with the same workouts for everyone. Unfortunately, not everyone is alike. Each body possesses a unique combination of muscle fibers, and understanding one’s muscle makeup can have a huge impact on the success of an exercise program—a fact that, until now, has been largely ignored. The body has both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers. Fast-twitch fibers are responsible for explosive, powerful movements—jumping, weight lifting, and so on. Slow-twitch fibers are used during endurance activities, such as walking and running. Exercise is more effective if it is based on an individual’s personal combination of muscle fibers. This book is useful for athletes, “weekend warriors,“ and those just starting an exercise program. Whether a reader is predominantly slow twitch, fast twitch, or a balance of the two, he or she will find the right exerciseprogram for his or her body type. With Exercise for Your Muscle Type, readers can: Use muscle makeup to achieve greater athletic success. Tailor workouts to address particular strengths and weaknesses. Follow detailed exercise plans provided for each muscle type. Discover new sports and activities that more closely fit a specific body type. People are often dissatisfied with the success of their exercise programs or activities, but they may simply have been the wrong programs for their muscular structure. Exercise for Your Muscle Type eliminates this frustration by showing readers how they are built and by helping them put together an appropriate personalized comprehensive exercise program. With a better understanding of one’s own body, anyone can achieve his or her fitness goals more quickly! |

The New Rules of Lifting for Abs (Hardcover) $47.35 An expert fitness team shares their cutting-edge program for achieving stellar abs-in just three hours a week. A strong, athletic physique, highlighted by a flat midsection with well-defined abdominal muscles, is the goal of everyone who works out, from lifelong gym rats to the New Year`s resolution crowd. But most people who seek these goals undermine their efforts. In The New Rules of Lifting for Abs, Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove offer unique programs based on the latest breakthroughs in exercise science. And, as they did in their previous books, The New Rules of Lifting and The New Rules of Lifting for Women, the authors debunk ab-training myths while showing readers how to strip off even the most stubborn flab. Surprising revelations include: ? Washboard abs do not always equal a healthy, pain-free back ? The crunch is actually a poor choice for most people ? Extending the core can be much more effective than flexing ab muscles ? It`s impossible to isolate the core muscles ? And much, much more Readers get three months of intense workouts, combining fat-busting conditioning work with intense strength training, which they can easily expand into a yearlong program. Schuler and Cosgrove also include a nutrition component detailing how to eat for fat loss, muscle gain, and improved health. Home-gym friendly, and illustrated with more than 150 black-and-white photographs, The New Rules of Lifting for Abs delivers the goods. |
