With the current craze of the Atkins diet women are finding success fitting into clothes that they couldn’t fit into for a while. Without a doubt the Atkins diet works. Unfortunately the diet doesn’t help muscle tone or the cardiovascular system. Now with the fat that was covering the underlying muscle melted off,. you would like to see these muscles toned up. Why not try bodybuilding? You probably have some questions why you should start bodybuilding. I listed below some of the questions I have been asked over the years. Hopefully this will answer your queries.
Question 1
If I start bodybuilding will I develop huge muscles and have to quit my job as a dental hygienist? I’m not looking forward to becoming a longshoreman and working on the docks and changing my name to Butch.
No. A woman does not have the testosterone levels as a man to build huge muscles. The bodybuilding training will only tone muscles and add shape.
Question 2
Will I have to 2nd mortgage the house so I can buy supplements to support my bodybuilding endeavors?
No. Just follow a natural well-balanced eating plan.
Question 3
Can I build a larger chest with bodybuilding?
No. But you can tone the underlying muscles of your chest which will help enhance your appearance.
Question 4
Do I have to join a gym?
No. You can workout at home buying some dumbbells and simple equipment. But it is helpful to train at a bodybuilding gym. It is great to be in an atmosphere where everybody else there is working towards the same goals as you.
Question 5
Do I have to commit a lot time to bodybuilding?
No. 3 times a week 1-hour sessions are all you really need to keep toned.
Question 6
Do I have to yell really loud when lifting weights or grunt like the guys at the gym or expel deadly gases while working out?
No. Please no. I was parking my truck in the parking lot of the gym I own in Northern Wisconsin and I heard a guy yelling from inside the gym. I thought he was hurt from the ear-splitting roar. After getting inside I found him finishing a set of wrist curls.
I hope this will answer your questions if you are interested in starting bodybuilding. It is a great individual sport. And you can choose the level you want to be at. From a recreational bodybuilder to a highly competitive bodybuilder that competes at shows. Hopefully this article will be a start of a series of women bodybuilding for beginners.
