Womens and mens bodies are not the same and when it comes to working out
and fat loss, things are also a little different. Specifically workout
plans for women should be different than a mans. In general, men carry
more muscle than women and women have a bit more fat. These are things
that need to be taken in to account when designing your workout,
regardless of your goals.
In reality we are all human and what works for men will also work for
women, to a point. The main thing is that women and mens workout goals
are generally different and they are usually looking for different
results. Women sometimes have a distorted view of themselves and thanks
to the media, try to lose fat and attain an unrealistic look for their
body. This is a shame and there are countless women who worry everyday
about what they look like and how they can improve their bodies. Men are
no different and will do close to anything, including taking illegal
and dangerous drugs, to get massive arms and a huge chest.
I am all for getting in to great shape and improving ourselves, I just think we all need to know that having a great looking body doesn't always mean that we a have a healthy body. I think that people incorrectly use the words heath and fitness in the same context. Being in shape with a very low bodyfat level does necessarily mean that you are healthy. Theoretically you could eat nothing for weeks and drink can after can of diet soft drinks and lose tons of weight. Is this healthy though? Of course not. There is a balance that you should strive for that includes eating healthy and exercising, but not going to the extreme with either.
