One answer Yes, you can. But before this, you should know how much effort you should give to lifting weight and doing other cardio exercise. An additional answerOf course, how do you think people lose weight? Weights would not only improve your figure, they will make you much healthier. GO FOR IT! If you are fat or not, take it slow. Improvements are just around the corner.
Doctors have been telling the general public for decades how important diet and exercise are. Weight lifting does help to increase bone density and should be added to a person's weekly routine in order to prevent bone loss. General consumer stores such as Target and Wal Mart have relatively inexpensive weights and of course, you could go to a specialty sporting goods store to find the heavier and more weights.
I want to gain bigger muscles in all areas (such as arms,legs, calves and abs, etc.) by lifting weights (not to body builder size of course), but i also don't want to lose my ability to do; push ups, chin ups, etc. so would i still benefit from lifting weights one week, then doing gymnastic type exercises and lots more cardio the next week. Also if anyone has any good workout routines (either weights, or body weight) including running, whether it be circuit training or anything, as i want to have a good anaerobic and aerobic system. Thanks in advance!
Of course. Lunges are the best exercise for increasing the butt / glutes. Using weights builds the muscle. Make sure you eat well (not junk food, that just makes fat globs) and include a lot of protein to build the muscle.
Eat healthy and exercise of course
By engaging in a similar weight lifting program to men's. Many women think that lifting very light weights for a number of repetitions will help them get "toned". In reality, muscles don't get "toned"- they either undergo hypertrophy in response to resistance exercise or they don't. As a result, many women are performing ineffective weightlifting routines. If they were to lift heavier weights for fewer repetitions while exerting themselves, they'd probably gain more muscle mass. Of course, women will never gain muscle at the same rate as men because they have higher levels of estrogen and lower levels of testosterone.
Of course it does! What helped me lose weight watchers! I lost 20lbs in 2weeks no lie! That's without exercising! Imagine if you keep it up and exercise also! You can do it!
Because they only have about 5% of the testosterone as men. They can still get bigger and much stronger, but it's much harder. Steroids help of course, but I would never recommend taking those male or female.
It is possible to improve your strength without weight training, but it is not possible to do it without resistance training. For example, by pressing hard against various objects (including yourself as in Charles Atlas's "dynamic tension" old course), you can improve your strength. The best way to do it, however, is by progressively lifting heavier and heavier weights.
