"My guess is that most women would MUCH rather have a physique similar to a 'Bond Girl', than the typical fitness model." -Rusty Moore
This post is for all of the ladies out there.
What if I told you that almost all fitness advice targeted towards women is counterproductive to their goals? Unfortunately, this is actually the case. The reality is that men and women posses differing targets with regards to attaining a specific appearance. As a result, they must workout differently. Most ladies wish to acquire a slim feminine look. So which are the best fitness workouts for women to achieve this? Incredibly, there's been a gaping lack of knowledge on this subject... until now.
Visual Impact for Women: the very first fitness product of its kind.
Earlier this year, Rusty Moore (1) unveiled his long-awaited women's fitness product: Visual Impact for Women. Rusty is the author of Visual Impact Muscle Building: a strategic plan intended for males to enable them to put on just the right quantity of muscle to attain a "GQ" appearance that's less bodybuilder-like and more Hollywood celebrity-like. His latest program shows ladies how to get a slim, slender look without overdoing muscle tone. While striking muscle definition is desirable for the majority of guys, females likely don't need bulging arms or a raging six-pack. They would rather have a sleek, hourglass-shaped physique which includes a flat midsection and subdued muscle tone.
I am a guy, but I purchased this product for a couple of reasons.
First, I wanted to dissect it so that I can provide useful commentary on the program. Second, I wanted to determine if there's beneficial information in this system which women and men alike can utilize. I was not so shocked to find that there are outstanding take-aways from this material which anyone can gain from. The concepts taught in the course are worth the price tag alone. The methods and exercise demos are excellent also, but they're almost like an added bonus. You can (and should) tweak these to align with your goals. The true value lies in the theory.
There are many different aspects of fitness mentioned throughout this guide, however I would like to pick 3 interesting myth busters of certain interest to women and focus on them in this post.
Women shouldn't press their reps to failure when they desire to slim down.
Does your fitness instructor push you hard every appointment to "pump out" those last couple of repetitions? Maybe you listened, grinded them out, and felt proud of yourself after. Training to failure is great advice... if you want to build mass. This applies regardless of how many repetitions you carry out or how heavy you're lifting. If you wish to obtain strength without adding muscle mass size, which will ultimately allow you to get the slimmed down feminine look, then stay clear of training to failure. I know this is controversial information, but it's scientifically proven.
Ladies don't need to add more muscle mass to shed extra fat.
Maybe your fitness instructor tells you that you must put on muscle to reduce more body fat. While this is correct (you'll burn off slightly more calories by adding more muscle to your body), wouldn't you prefer to burn a substantially larger number of calories without getting more buff? If I were a woman, my answer would be yes. If this is the case, then you'll need to have strategic cardio exercise as a cornerstone of your plan. By executing cardio exercise the right way, you are able to burn a boat load of calories, without getting thunder thighs and shoulder muscles like the Incredible Hulk. Sound like a plan? Visual Impact for Women will teach you the best way to make this happen.
Women shouldn't eat more often if they want to slim down.
Eat 6 times per day to keep your body burning fat constantly. Another landmine suggestion. A common complaint I've heard amongst my female friends is that it's very difficult to keep their daily calorie consumption in check to the degree needed in order to lose weight. This is especially true for ladies because they are usually smaller compared to males so they really need to be eating considerably less. But this really is easier in theory. Last time I checked, restaurants don't offer "female size" portions. Many gals I know can easily eat the same amount as guys. Guess what, if you're eating six times per day, your meals will have to be so tiny, you're practically setting yourself up for failure.
In Visual Impact for Women, Rusty describes an eating strategy that I actually adhere to myself (as a man). He recommends keeping track of calories on a weekly basis instead of a daily basis, eating two small meals then one large meal during most days, and integrating intermittent fasting once or twice a week. This strategy allows you to slim down while still enjoying bigger, fulfilling meals (even 1,200 calorie restaurant dinners), which is why I love it so much. I can honestly say that strategic calorie manipulation is the best option. The inflexible six meals a day method will probably make you give up, weep, run away to Ben & Jerry, and put on weight (in that order). Don't fall into this trap.
I've just scratched the surface of Visual Impact for Women, but hopefully I've captured your attention.
You can find a myriad other topics in this program that are invaluable including, but not limited to:
• High rep vs. low rep training and why it can make a difference for women
• What types of exercise equipment to use
• The function of yoga exercises in your fitness routine
• Aggressive dieting to lose 5-10 lbs in less than three weeks to get ready for an "event"
• How often to exercise
• How to get rid of that "stubborn" muscle on your thighs and calves
The bottom line is if you are a woman, you need to understand the best fitness workouts for women. Visual Impact for Women provides just that. So check it out!
