How Females Can Build Strength and Keep Their Womanly Figure

Women sometimes feel threatened by working out because they are afraid they will end up looking like a body builder. When women exercise they don't do much, and if they do it's more like cardio work. A lot of females would love to gain a little strength but keep that womanly figure. I would like to go over a few work-out routines or just some exercises that women can do to build strength but still obtain their sexy body.

The hormones in a female body are totally different in a male's body. In the male we have what you call testosterone; which is a hormone that pretty much produces muscles and facial hair. The women have a different type of hormone called estrogen. The hormones alone prove that a woman will never be able to build muscle like men do naturally. I guess what I'm trying to say is if a woman does the same work out that a man would do their progress in strength would vary.

I have come up with the perfect work out for a female wanting to gain strength but keep her shape. It is a six week program that is highly effective. Start out with doing three sets of 10 reps for each work out you do for the first two weeks. Work outs should consist of doing chest, legs, biceps, triceps, back, shoulders, and your latisimus dorsi also known as your lats. Spread these work outs into three days a week. You can use what ever three days fits your schedule best.

Once you have done your first two weeks you will be on the next two weeks. Week three and four should be the same exact work outs but doing heavier weights and less rep. Still working out three days a week you should only be doing about five sets of five reps for each work out. You now have a foundation and are building strength.
Week three and four finally come to an end and you can now move to your last two weeks of the program, week five and six. The last two weeks is still doing the same work outs but boosting your weight up once again. Now you should be doing four sets of only three reps for each work out. After the last two weeks are completed you should notice a major improvement in strength. Like I said before, females don't have testosterone which produces the chemicals that build muscle mass. If you are satisfied with your results but don't want to move up in weight then you can just go through the six week program again but using the same weight you did in the first six week program. Normally after the first six weeks you would repeat the process but you would be stronger so you would move up weight. If you are happy with your results and want to keep it this way, just do the six week program again and use the same weight like I suggested above.
