Womens body building
In the past ten years, women's body building has grown increasingly popular, as people come to appreciate the benefits.
Whereas a few years ago, there was a move in women's body building for sheer size, there is a growing appreciation of a more aesthetic look that combines balanced muscle growth with traditional female looks.
For anyone considering women's body building, whether as a competitor or simply as a way of getting in shape, there are tremendous benefits from following this sport. Principal among them are:-
Balanced physique: Many females tend to be bottom heavy - pear-shaped. Working with weights adds some bulk to the upper body providing a more balanced appearance.
-
Fat burning: Weight lifting is one of the most effective ways of burning off excess weight and keeping it off. Not only are the workouts intense, and thus effective for burning fat, but for each extra pound of muscle that you add, you burn anywhere from 15 - 35 calories per hour, 24/7.
-
Healthy life-style: This can make a huge difference. Those who commit to the sport typically find themselves adhering to a self-imposed ethos. Having spent an hour working hard in the gym, you won't want to waste your efforts by eating junk food, smoking, or filling up on booze.
