Muscle or Fat
September 19th 2006 09:59
There is nothing worse than a thin figure without definition or tone. Without muscles the feminine figure can never be considered 'ideal'. In an evolutionary sense, we were meant to have strength to carry our young around, and speed to be able to get away from predators. This gave us the ability and neccesity to develope muscles as we grew into adulthood, never the possibilty that we might not manage to maintain our shapely fibres.
Today one can go through one's life without lifting anything heavier than a handbag, so it's no wonder we so many of us our all out of proportion even though we may not be considered 'fat'.
My advice to all women who wish to obtain the best figure possible; do weights, not excessively, not for more than an hour a day (even a few times a week will make a difference), and don't fear that you'll end up looking like She-ra training for the female wrestling world championships, you won't.
What you will have is a muscular system that builds itself in the female proportions it was programmed to, not like the fatty, bulky deposits you see on people who have nothing but skin bone and fat. Muscle will give you smooth toned lines, and help with the cellulite better than any cream will. And you'll look healthy, feminine, as long as you don't over-do it.
It takes a heck of a lot of weight training to look anything like a body builder though so don't stress. And use all areas of the body! Don't spot train unless you already have a built up area, like lower body, and you want everything else to catch up. Keep it varied and fun and most of all keep it regular.
