More Muscles…Less Fat – The Boot Camp Way!

If you believe the myth of ‘women bulk up when they lift weights’ then you need to think twice. Women simply do not have the same amount of testosterone as men do, so there are no chances of them looking like the incredible hulk after a few sessions of lifting weights. Genetics are different, obviously between men and women, so don’t listen to people who are not experienced in the fitness world when it comes to that. When you use resistence in your workouts such as by training with weights, you will increase caloric expenditure, boost your metabolism, and reshape your muscles by getting rid of that fat. It’s important for you to realize that you need to lift a weight that is challenging for your muscles if you want to see physical changes in your body. If you didn’t know, muscle takes up less space than fat but weighs more.

The personal trainers at Body Envy Boot Camp incorporate strength training in every session of boot camp by using free weights or simply by using your own body weight. You won’t find any pastel colors here. If you find that your dumbbells are bright colors, then chances are you aren’t seeing major changes in your physical appearance. Your purse probably weighs more than that.  You really can’t go much farther if you are not challenging your body. Feel free to ask any of Body Envy Boot Camp clients, it’s hard work but it pays off in the form of results. Why? Because it’s the personal trainers job to know first hand what it takes to help women get the results they are looking for. It takes: motivation, consistency, hard work, sweat, and you guessed it, strength training.

There are many health benefits to strength training with weights like avoiding potential health threats such as osteoporosis. As women age the bones weaken and by putting pressure on the bones and muscles only helps to make them stronger. When you challenge your muscles you burn fat at a quicker pace as well as burn calories even while at rest due to increasing your metabolism. Of course icing on the cake is when you can see your muscles becoming more defined. Every woman, if given a choice would probably rather have a toned, fit, and healthy body then a flabby, over weight, and unhealthy body.

Sadly, you can’t take a pill or pull out quick fixes from a box to lose weight but what you can do is combine a positive attitude with a clean eating plan, and of course train your muscles with weights, then you will see changes in your body and increase your fitness level like you’ve never thought possible.
