Fitness Plan For Women

What is a fitness guide for women? 

Its a question you think would be answered quickly and effectively. I mean there are over 4000 diet books on the market and who knows how many sites and blogs dedicated to helping people achieve the dream body.

But maybe that’s the problem? Maybe the best workout for women shouldn’t be based on some dream body. Maybe the best workout for women should be based on what each respective woman wants.

To me, one of the most important factors in health is that you are comfortable with your body (man or woman). In addition to that, you should have enough energy and health to be comfortable in your life.

You should be able to move up and down stairs, move around work and the house, workout, eat foods you like, all without stress and fatigue.

A fitness guide for women should make them comfortable within their own bodies and comfortable within their own lives.

What Women Want (what every man wants to know):

Sometimes knowing what you want is better answered by figuring out what you don’t want.

The fact is, women don’t want to be bulky, they don’t want muscle in their legs that makes their legs look bigger and they obviously don’t want the fat.

They want to be fit and energetic while still maintaining a feminine look. Its simple.

What Many Workout Routines Prescribe for Women:

What many books and programs dedicated to women prescribe as the best workout plan and diet for women goes as follows:

• Weight lifting to build muscle, which burns more calories
• Weights that don’t go past 15 pounds and only stick to the colors of the rainbow
• Intensive leg training (even though many women despise the way their legs look with muscle)
• Endless Cardio
• Counting calories
• Low fat diets
• Salads
• Low protein
• And on. and on and on

Thats not a plan for women. Thats a plan for people who want to waste time, get no results, damage metabolism and health, and fall of the wagon unhappier than before.

What a Proper Health Plan Should Prescribe for Women (in my opinion):

• Weight lifting to boost metabolism, not to burn calories
• Weight lifting that touches weights that challenge the body
• Workouts designed to maximize intensity and form instead of waste time and energy
• High Intensity Interval Training
• An eating plan that incorporates protein, fat and carbohydrate
• An eating plan that effectively uses nutrient time to maximize fat loss
• An eating plan that achieves the nutrients necessary for healthy skin, hair and so on
• Stress management and elimination of unnecessary stress
• Sunlight and Sleep

You can see the difference. The second one probably excites you. See, I think people take up plans like the former (the first one) because they’re scared.

When you’re scared, you react instead of respond. You see the majority of mainstream news supporting low fat diets, and you wouldn’t dare to be unique or different. You get scared into acting normal.

But what are normal results? What does the average person achieve? Thats a question I know you have the answer to.

Its the unique people on this earth that achieve. Its the people who are different who cause change and improve our world. And its those who are brave enough to create a new path, rather than follow a trail already made, that achieve the most in this world.

Those principles live on in health, fitness and every other field you can think of.

What I Recommend as a Fitness Guide for Women: 

Like I said above, the best workout plan for women is the workout that allows them to look the way they want to look and live the life they want to live.

Thats why today, I am proud to present Visual Impact for Women.

Visual Impact for Women is a program designed by Rusty Moore of Fitness Black Book, a health and fitness site that gets millions of views every year.  Hes also the maker of Visual Impact for Men.

What I like about Rusty is his attitude and approach to life. He doesn’t mine vanity-based goals because he knows thats what people want. And when people get what they want, they usually get happy (which as my readers know, is an important theme of my website).

In Visual Impact for Men, he went against the grain and made recommendations that he knew would help men achieve what they want.

He knew that many women don’t want the typical bodybuilder look, and would actually rather be lean than big. As proved by his extremely large visitor base, who just keeps coming back and back over and over again, Rustys content is worth it and his advice is wanted.

In Visual Impact for Women, which Ive now read, he does the same thing. Hes constructed this book around the idea that women don’t want to be bulky, and don’t want to hear the same answers over and over again.

They want results, and more importantly, they want the results they want and not what other people think they should have. Women want to be fit AND feminine. Strong AND sexy. They do not want muscle if its going to make them look bigger.

Visual Impact for Women Chapter Layout:

Introduction: Finally Someone is Listening! 
Nobody seems to be listening to what the majority of women want. More women would rather look good in a bikini…than look like muscular fitness models. I GET this…yet most of the people in the fitness industry simply aren’t listening.

Chapter 1: Myth Busting
Sick of hearing that it impossible for you to gain too much muscle because you don’t have enough testosterone? I will discuss that and other myths told to women on a consistent basis.

Chapter 2: Is Cardio Really “Dead”?
Hollywood actresses use cardio like crazy to get fit for movie roles…so why do so many fitness experts claim that cardio is dead? I’ll explain in detail why cardio is an amazing tool to get a slim and sexy physique and why circuit training isn’t always all it is cracked up to be.

Chapter 3: High-Rep Training
Why women have been pushed towards high rep training to “tone” the
muscles. What actually happens in the body when training for high reps. A study which shows that high reps tend to add muscle mass about as well as low reps.

Chapter 4: Low-Rep Training
What happens in the body during low rep training. Why low reps (done
properly) are the ideal way to get a lean and slim physique that looks great in a bikini.

Chapter 5: Training to Failure
Why training to failure or training short of failure makes a HUGE impact on how your muscle look. This is one of the most overlooked variables in all of women’s fitness.

Chapter 6: Free Weights, Machines, and Body Weight Training
The benefits and drawbacks of each type of resistance (free weights,
machines, body weight training, and resistance bands). Why the ideal
workout uses a combination of various forms of resistance.

Chapter 7: Yoga
Great for mobility, but not the fastest route to a slim and lean physique. Why I believe this should only be considered a supplementary form of exercise, not a way to stay slim and lean year-round.

Chapter 8: Adding Muscle to Burn More Body Fat?
Why putting on muscle to lose body fat is a slow indirect approach to getting lean. I’ll will also discuss how adding muscle burns an insignificant amount of calories per day.

Chapter 9: Dieting Challenges for Women
Why the conventional methods you have been taught will make fat loss close to impossible. Women have it tougher than men…but here is a strategy that works well.

Chapter 10: Dieting Strategies in Detail
How many calories should you eat per day? What ratio of carbs, protein, and fat? How many meals? Strategies for women who like to eat every few hours. Strategies for women who like to eat fewer, but larger meals.

Chapter 11: Dieting for an Event
How dieting for an event like a vacation or wedding is much different than the way you would normally eat. Need to lose 5-10 pounds in less than 3 weeks? I outline a tough but extremely effective plan for that.

Chapter 12: A Flat-Out Effective Cardio Workout
An incredibly effective 30 minute cardio routine that drops fat on demand. Ways to adjust it to complement your resistance training routine.

Chapter 13: How to Customize Your Routines
Why there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all workout solution. Mastering what works best for your body is what is going to help you look exceptional in any situation.

Chapter 14: The “Go-To 2 Day Split” – Gym Routine
I will outline the current routine that I use with my girlfriend. Although we train together, I use different schemes to add muscle while she slims down. This is a great starting point to base your customized routine on.

Chapter 15: The “3 Days Per Week” – Gym Routine
Here is a routine you can use if you are only able to hit the gym 3 days per week. This uses a special 3 day split which makes a lot of sense once I explain the principles.

Chapter 16: Setting Up a Simple & Effective Home Gym
I’ll explain some creative ways to train with very little equipment (adjustable bench and dumbbells). As long as you get the set and rep schemes correct, you can get in tremendous shape at home.

Chapter 17: The “Go-To 2 Day Split” – Home Routine
This is the routine to use if you are able to train 4 days or more per week at home. This is the recommended base routine to use from home, that you can customize over time and use year after year.

Chapter 18: The “3 Days Per Week” – Home Routine
This is a simple but effective routine for women who simply want to workout on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This is best for women who are extremely challenged for time.

Chapter 19: How to Lose Muscle Mass on Purpose
Legions of women have muscular thighs and calves that they would like to make slim and defined. This is common especially with women who have been given poor training advice. Despite this being a taboo subject, I’m going to give you a strategy that works.

Chapter 20: Final Thoughts
Working hard for 5-6 months and then being in “maintenance mode” the rest of you life. A simple way to look and feel good for a lifetime.

Final Words on The Best Workout for Women:

I truly hope all the women reading this post (and you men too) reach your health goals. I know exactly what its like to set a goal and fight for it for years. Ive mentioned this story a couple times on this site, I went from 207 pounds and depressed in my early teens to 135 pounds and skinny to nowadays, 160 pounds and the happiest Ive ever been.

I wish that for everyone (not that exact weight ). But I will tell you something, it took work and dedication. But the results and rewards are so worth it. I would go back and do it over and over again.

So why am I telling you my life story right now?

Because I recommended a product. I don’t take recommending products lightly. I only recommend them when I know they are worth the time and money of my readers. It took me months to get the right information to properly start losing the weight I needed to lose and lean out, and If I had the right info at the start, It would of been quicker, safer and more effective.

All you need to do is take action.
