Female Bodybuilding
What You Need to Know if You are Interested in Bodybuilding
Because a woman has a different physiological make-up than a man, female body building involves a different series of exercises than men’s body building. Female body building, for instance, puts emphasis on the loss of fat, and because of that, women’s diets and supplementary needs are different than a man’s. To help rid a woman of excess fat, female body builders usually begin their body building programs with brisk walking, running and jogging programs.
Female body building doesn't bring about the same muscle gain size as in the case of men; scientists explain this huge difference on the basis of the hormone level that is three times larger in the case of men, thus causing the so-called hypertrophy.
Another factor that is important in female body building is its benefit in combating osteoporosis in women. The explanation lies in bone modeling; there is 13% more mineral density in the bone level after six months of body building training. Combined with proper calcium intake, this could solve the osteoporosis problem for good. Medical studies of female body builders show that back pain and osteoporosis have almost disappeared for good!
Other important benefits of female body building include lower heart attack risk and joint condition improvement. Stronger muscles and mobility of joints increases with resistance and strength training. Female body building will also improve your physical skills. If you like rock climbing, cycling, or any other physical endeavor, you will notice a definite better overall performance due to your greater strength and stamina.
Women will feel more comfortable in their body because of female body building. It can bring about a greater ease of movement and more energy. And let us not forget the confidence factor that you will gain from a healthier body. Studies have also shown that improved stress management seems to go along with weight lifting/body building training.
So all these factors, plus many more show the advantages of female's participating in body building programs.
