A few tips from the Women's Body Bible...

  • Women will not get big and bulky from lifting weights, but instead lose fat and gain lean, toned muscles.
  • Women should lift weights just like men.
  • Women do not need to diet differently than men, but need to calculate their needed caloric intake based on their weight.
  • Women burn a greater ratio of fat to carbs than men and tend to do well on low-carb diets.
  • Calorie Control, Macronutrient Manipulation, Staying Hydrated, Eating Quality Foods, Insulin Control, Eating Adequate Protein and Essential Fats are all vital to a healthy diet and gaining lean muscle.
  • Stubborn fat areas are caused by a high density of Alpha2 receptors and poor blood flow.
  • Lipolysis must be increased in order for FFAs to be burned
  • Blood flow to adipose tissue and transportation of FFAs away from adipose tissue is vital to fat loss.
  • FFAs must be BURNED for body fat loss to occur.
  • Exercise is the best way to increase blood flow to adipose tissue, transportation of FFAs, and oxidation of FFAs.
  • The Stubborn Fat Cardio/HIIT are great ways to get rid of stubborn fat.
  • Consistency is the KEY o success and getting that body that you always wanted!
