Men tend to gain fat in their bellies and waist areas. This is a good place to store fat in case of starvation. Easy access to your digestive system for quick energy. This has to do with starvation being a problem going back thousands of years ago. So knowing this, how can women build an effective exercise routine for themselves. Exercise routines for women should include periods of lifting weights heavier than 5 pound dumbbells! The reason is that by lifting heavier weights, with safety and proper form, and then progressively increasing the weight used a woman will become much stronger for everyday activities. You can find specific exercise routines for women from many free sources. Start a notebook that you use to document detailed instructions about exercises for every muscle group. Bring that notebook with you to the gym to track the exercises you did and the weights, sets, and reps performed. First of all, look for something that actually increases your energy, instead of depleting it. If you feel weak and low energy after exercising, it's not good for you. Women over 40 often have a lot of responsibilities, and you can't afford to be low-energy. Good exercise routines for this are brisk walking, hiking or swimming Women are usually not paying much attention to weights and bodybuilding. In fact, many women are not interested in this aspect at all. There is nothing remiss about this. Women are more focused on flat stomachs and toned legs, than having impressive biceps. A basic workout routine for women may include doing 3 days of weight training with two days of cardio over the entire week. If you want very fast results and have the time you can do an intense split routine which includes 4 days of weight training and 1 to 2 days of cardio. In order for you to reap the best results you should always find an activity or exercise routine which you enjoy. There are hundreds of workout routines for women, but there may only be three or four of them that you actually like or could see yourself doing on a regular basis. Of course there are other types of exercise, and the ideal method would be to switch to different types of exercise every few days. This keeps all the muscles in shape, and helps you stay motivated. Doing the same workout day after day can sometimes get a little monotonous. Neither one of us likes doing any thing beyond a walk in the park so we don't want a terribly extensive workout and we both are quite busy. Since we are the same as most women and gain belly fat, we decided to target that area in our search for exercise material. Swimming is very popular mainly because it is refreshing and everyone loves to do it. Swimming uses your hips, legs and arms and your head. This is a total body workout that is gentle on your body and just fun in general to do. Also, by breaking up the meals, she was able to not snack on sweets and miscellaneous food all throughout the day, in fact, she found that with 6 small meals, she was not hungry for anything else. Protein is important to have when you are trying to lose weight. It is a little more filling, so you can feel yourself get fuller without eating as much as you would normally, and it is good for the heart, body and it turns into energy to be burned, instead of fat.
