We have moved on a long way since activewear first began and all you could buy were unflattering cycling shorts and baggy vests. Now the internet is awash with fantastic prints, sculpted fitted items that actually make you look and feel great. Here’s a selection of my top ten favourites from across the web.
1. Women who lift will bulk – myth – women do not have the same testosterone levels that men do. Women generally will not put on muscle etc, in the same way as our male counterparts.
Cardio is for girls. Weight Lifting is for boys – not true. Just because you are a woman and weight lift, you will not get “bulky”. If you eat right and lift weights it can accelerate weight loss and make for a more aesthetically pleasing, trim and fit body. Women do not typically have enough testosterone to get bulky from weight lifting. Cardio is also beneficial for men in order to strengthen their hearts and can assist in weight loss if eating properly.
Here are a few tips and tricks that I have used over the years to stay motivated and help me stick to my workout routine. I know it’s not easy to stay focused. We have all been there, lying in bed staring at the dormant dumbbells across the room before ultimately deciding to roll over and watch a movie instead. But, hopefully this list may help you to stay on track. For, there is no better time than today; and you will feel so much better after all the effort, and the accomplishment from reaching your goals. And not forgetting Karen Lamb’s words of wisdom, “A year from now you will wish you had started today.”
