Cardio alone isn't the answer! You also need to incorporate weight training for women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strength training with free weights is an excellent way for women to build muscle, lose weight, and stay in shape.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Women may avoid strength training for a number of reasons. Some feel that they don\u2019t want to become too bulky. Others may not know the proper way to use free weights.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth is, free weights like dumbbells, kettlebells, and barbells are excellent tools that should be added to any fitness program. All of this equipment can target every muscle in the body.<\/p>\n<p>Here's what you need to know about weight training for women \u2014 and how to get started!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Discover all of the benefits of weightlifting for women!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe src=\" https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/psS3Iv0Sovk?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Why Weight Training For Women Is So Important<\/h2>\n<p>Weight training is important for women for many reasons. For one, it will <strong>increase lean body mass, strength, and muscle definition<\/strong>. Increased lean muscle mass will further <strong>increase your metabolism<\/strong> and allow your body to <strong>burn more calorie<\/strong>s throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>Strength training is beneficial for bone health as well. Research has shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/9927006\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the risk of osteoporosis is lower in women who participate in strength or resistance training<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Training with free weights will also help you maintain strength and independence. Being fit and healthy with strong muscles will allow you to perform the activities of daily living with ease. You'll look and feel great, too!<\/p>\n<p>Doing resistance workouts is not only beneficial for your physical health but also for your psychological well-being. Studies have shown that high- or low-intensity strength training can improve overall physical fitness, mood, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/9545677\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">self-efficacy in older adults<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Not Just Do Machine Workouts?<\/h3>\n<p>Machine workouts are great, too, and can still be worked into your fitness routine. However, working out with free weights offers additional benefits you cannot get from solely using machines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free weight workouts typically require you to engage your core to maintain proper form. This means getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitmotherproject.com\/full-body-workout\/?utm_source=blog-post&utm_medium=text-link&utm_term=weight-training-for-women&utm_content=&utm_campaign=fm30x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full-body workout<\/a> with every move!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Typically with machine workouts, your body is anchored against a back or front support. With many free weight exercises, you have to rely much more on proper posture and contracted core muscles to complete the workout.<\/p>\n<p>Having to use your body with your abdominal and lower back muscles will strengthen the core and improve your balance and stability. Plus, having a strong core will give you an overall toned physique and great-looking abs!<\/p>\n<p>Free weights are versatile, allowing multiple movements in one exercise. You can target your muscles from different angles by changing your grip on the weights. This can lead to a more complete and efficient workout.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, free weights are readily available. You can keep a set of dumbbells at home; machine exercises are typically only available at a fitness center unless you set up your own gym, which takes a lot of space \u2014 and money!<\/p>\n<p><span

Training For Women: Top Exercises To Incorporate Into Your Workouts<\/h2>\n<p>Like machine or bodyweight exercises, free weight exercises can hit every muscle group to give you a great overall workout. Start with a weight that will allow you to perform 8-10 reps of the move while maintaining good form.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the top free weight workouts for women, broken down by area.<\/p>\n<h3>Chest<\/h3>\n<p>Dumbbell Bench Press<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lie on the back of a flat bench while holding a dumbbell in each hand.<\/li>\n<li>Straighten your arms so that the dumbbells are above your chest.<\/li>\n<li>Bend your elbows slowly to bring the weights down to your chest.<\/li>\n<li>Then drive your arms back up to the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Incline Dumbbell Flyes<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lie on the back of an incline bench set to 30-45 degrees while holding a dumbbell in each hand.<\/li>\n<li>Start with the dumbbells above your head, palms facing each other, and a slight bend in the elbows.<\/li>\n<li>Open your arms to the side until they align with your torso.<\/li>\n<li>Then slowly bring them back up to the starting position in the same arc that you brought them down to the sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Triceps<\/h3>\n<p>Tricep Kickbacks<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place your left leg and left hand on a flat bench and bend over until your torso is parallel to the floor while holding a dumbbell in your right hand.<\/li>\n<li>Or simply bend over at the waist.<\/li>\n<li>Hold your right arm against your side, with a 90\u00b0 bend at the elbow.<\/li>\n<li>Straighten your right arm back until it is parallel to the floor.<\/li>\n<li>Contract your triceps at that top portion of the lift.<\/li>\n<li>Slowly lower until your arm is back at a 90\u00b0 angle.<\/li>\n<li>Do your 8-10 reps, then switch arms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lying Tricep Extensions<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lie on the back of a flat bench while holding a dumbbell in each hand.<\/li>\n<li>Start with the weights held up above your chest.<\/li>\n<li>Bend your elbows to lower the weights down towards your ears.<\/li>\n<li>Then straighten your arms back up to the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Shoulders<\/h3>\n<p>Dumbbell Overhead Press<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>These can be done either seated or standing.<\/li>\n<li>Standing will force you to engage your core to a greater degree.<\/li>\n<li>However, if you are starting out, you can start in a seated position.<\/li>\n<li>Hold two dumbbells overhead and slowly bend your elbows to lower the weights until they are in line with your shoulders.<\/li>\n<li>Then push the weights back up to the top to complete one rep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Front to Lateral Dumbbell Raises<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stand upright, holding a dumbbell in each hand.<\/li>\n<li>Raise your arms to the sides until they are at shoulder height, then lower them back down.<\/li>\n<li>Then raise your arms straight out in front of you until the dumbbells are at shoulder height, then lower back down.<\/li>\n<li>This is one rep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Biceps<\/h3>\n<p>Wide Bicep Curls<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stand upright while holding a barbell or EZ curl bar at the wide outer handles with the palm of your hands facing forward.<\/li>\n<li>While holding your upper arms still, curl the weights until your biceps are fully contracted and the bar is at shoulder level.<\/li>\n<li>Hold the contracted position for a pause, then slowly lower the bar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Standard Bicep Curls<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stand with your feet hip-distance apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand.<\/li>\n<li>Bend your elbows to bring the weights up towards your shoulders.<\/li>\n<li>Pause, then slowly lower the weights back down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Back<\/h3>\n<p>Single Arm Row<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place your left leg and left hand on a flat bench and bend over until your torso is parallel to the floor while holding a dumbbell in your right hand.<\/li>\n<li>While keeping your back flat, bring your right elbow up to lift the weight up to your torso.<\/li>\n<li>Lower back down slowly.<\/li>\n<li>Do your 8-10 reps, then switch arms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bent-Over Barbell Row<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold a barbell with an underhand grip with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.<\/li>\n<li>Bend your torso until it\u2019s about parallel to the floor, and bend slightly at your knees.<\/li>\n<li>Let the bar hang at arm\u2019s length.<\/li>\n<li>Pull the bar to your upper abs as you squeeze your shoulder blades together.<\/li>\n<li>Pause and slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Legs and Glutes<\/h3>\n<p>Weighted Squats<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell with the weight in front of you.<\/li>\n<li>Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart.<\/li>\n<li>Sit back into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor.<\/li>\n<li>Tap the weight to the ground, then stand back
