While many women do weight training these days, there are still those who are reluctant to do it. One common reason is they are afraid of becoming bulky.
This fear is of course unwarranted because women have far less testosterone than men do. Testosterone is the androgenic hormone behind muscle mass growth.
One of the most common questions we receive as trainers is this: “How do I get a flatter stomach?” Nutritionally speaking, eating a well-balanced diet can help to eliminate body fat and naturally give you a flatter stomach. However, in the gym, no exercise will give you a miracle six-pack, but there are certainly movements to begin the process.
There are some combinations in life that are just meant to be: milk and cookies, movies and popcorn, road trips and music. But what about yoga and HIIT workouts? Are the two polar opposites, or is this one of many exercise myths? While the well-known factors of each may not seem similar, taking what you learn in a yoga class off the mat and with you into your HIIT workout is easier and more beneficial than you might think.
Are you getting bored of your workout? Are you thinking of excuses when the time to hit the gym comes? If yes, then you may suffer from exercise boredom.
Maybe you could use a little help to freshen up your training program and bring back the challenge. You’re not alone. Many gym-goers have lifted themselves to greater achievements, yet still suffer from a bad case of exercise boredom.
