Women's 12-week program for fitness

It can be intimidating and stressful for women to begin a new weight training regimen. It can be challenging to locate something that genuinely works because there is so much false information available.

Women have been given incorrect exercise guidelines for a long time.

All those magazine articles endorsing extremely tight food regimens and hours upon hours of boring cardio on a treadmill. The same ones that continue by saying that using a light set of dumbbells and completing sets of 20–30 repetitions of any specific exercise constitutes the “toning” process.

We can put some of that in the past now that we have the knowledge of female-specific training that we do.

Women’s Workout

Using foundational lifts the aim is to assist you in developing lean and functional muscular tone. The actual workout focuses on your upper body twice a week with an emphasis on arm sculpting and your bottom body three times a week with a strong emphasis on your glutes.

Also, we’ve added a few suggested cardio workouts that you can perform in the morning or after your daily workout to improve the total number of calories expended. They are not necessary, though, if time is of the essence. This workout will still yield results.

For this program, the intervals of rest between sets and exercises should be limited to 30 to 90 seconds.
