Same reasoning for the "toning up" phrase. I used to work out with my guy cousins all the time and saw fantastic results. I am fully aware that I can get results from any program that is geared towards building muscle.
NOURISH MOVE LOVE KETTLEBELL WORKOUT HOW TO
However, I tend to still prefer programs created by women because many take into consideration and mention how menstrual cycles affect results and how to work with them, or the body composition of being a woman (storing more fat etc.). I generally for the most part agree and worded it this way since it was 1 AM PST haha. But wanted to show all of you my appreciation for the time being!Īs for the comments about men/women working out the same etc. I'm very much looking forward to something that I can realistically stick to. I will be going through each comment slowly and checking out all the programs/recommendations that have been posted here. I sincerely appreciate each one of you for taking the time to respond. Oh wow! Thank you all so much! I was not expecting this many replies for my first post on Reddit. People Mentioned: Sarah Olive Bergeson, Tracy Steen, Emi Wong, Heather Robertson, Sohee Lee, Sydney Cummings, Natacha Oceane, Caroline Girvan, Jeremey Ethier, Casey Johnston, Meg Gallagher, Natalie Freeman Home Based (Phase 1-2), Gym Based (Phase 3)Īpps: SWEAT, Books: The New Rules of Lifting for Women: Lift Like a Man, Look Like a Goddess by Cassandra Forsythe & Lou Schuler I'll keep trying to add more as I see them. Overall: SIMPLE layout/plan, tells me exactly what to do & how much, focus on strength building using a combination of weights & bodyweight, beginner-intermediate, don't care about fast gains/results, something 8-12 weeks or longer if possible (longer the better).ĮDIT: For others that may read this post later looking for help/new recs, I've compiled most of the answers in a manner that would've been helpful for me as a lurker :). Low-impact cardio is perfectly fine, just no high-intensity cardio or HIIT style. Looking for a guide to tell me which body part to focus on, which exercises, sets/reps. Not HIIT focused or have it as a minimum if it is in there.Ī gym-based fitness guide for women: When I join a gym again (In August - after I'm done w/ grad school due to cost) I would like to fully get back to lifting. Strength-based workout focused and can include bodyweight. Unrealistic to keep attempting this if I plan to stay consistent with working out, therefore am avoiding these types of workouts.Ī home-based fitness guide for women: I have access to my apartment gym which has dumbbells, resistance bands, and a cable machine. When I attempt HIIT workouts I get light-headed, get close to passing out, and develop hives. I do not enjoy HIIT-based workouts whatsoever and I also cannot physically do them since I have a kidney disease and my kidney doc told me to avoid HIIT & Cross Fit type workouts because of the focus on a fast heartbeat and overload of high-intensity. The biggest difficulty that I'm running into most is that many are HIIT-based workouts. I've checked out a few guides based on posts from here and most are good but not exactly quite what I'm looking for. I've been looking around and lurking on Reddit posts but it's VERY overwhelming with the amount fitness women and people out there and guides. It's also been about 4 years since I've consistently worked out so I've realized that I need to start from the basics again. I recently retried one of Lais De Leon's challenges through her app but it's expensive & I felt that it was a bit too much and unrealistic for a single gym sesh. I feel like a badass when lifting and feeling like a badass is what motivates me to work out. These were all strength-based and I loved that. I also liked knowing that I was closer to the finish line and had a sense of accomplishment when completing plans/challenges. When I was 17-19, I used to follow Lais De Leon's fitness guides for at home and at the gym, and having a structured plan (what body part to work out, which exercises to do, # sets/reps) was wonderful for me as I have ADHD and it made working out much easier for me. (Don't care about scale weight as long as I'm losing fat & toning up) I'm currently 26 years old and would like to work on incorporating exercise back into my life and losing around 15-20 lbs to reduce fat while gaining muscle. I've never posted a question on Reddit before so my apologies if I do anything wrong in advance.
