A fitness routine geared specifically for women is an excellent way to lose weight and gain a healthier you. However, it is important to remember that with any fitness regimen, hard work and dedication are needed for success.

One of the number one reasons women fail at working out is time. In today's rushed world, women are constantly on the go, leaving little time for anything extra. It is also for this reason that many women turn to quick fixes such as diet pills and teas. However, these generally don't work, are unhealthy, and won't exhibit results without an added exercise routine.

Intensity.

The amount of intensity used in your workout, whether it is cardio or weight training will determine the amount of calories burned as well as the amount of weight loss you experience. If a woman jogs for five days a week, she will lose less weight and burn fewer calories than a woman who jogs for only three days a week. This is a perfect example of how intensity affects the body and your workout.

To implement high intensity, here is an example. Instead of long distance jogging, replace with short sprints and a rest after. The act of long distance jogging does not allow the heart rate to increase as much as the short sprints. Implementing high intensity into your workout will allow you to achieve greater success in less time.

Weight Training.

Uses weights in your workout routine increases the intensity of the workout, thereby increasing your metabolism. In addition, weight training intensity increases the metabolism for a whole 24 hours.

Try combining both cardio exercises and weight training exercises into your fitness routines and you will notice results almost instantly! Although it seems like loads of hard work, just picture yourself seeing changes in your body every week.

A Healthy Diet.

A healthy diet is what makes a healthy and beautiful looking body. As many say, you are what you eat. This is very true! The amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats that your body absorbs during your meals determines your body.

To see results quickly, implement a strict healthy diet into your fitness routine. Here are some suggestions.

Take in more proteins as compared to carbohydrates and fats. This is really simple to understand. Proteins keep you full for longer amounts of time while excess energy from carbohydrates end up as fats that are stored by your body.

Another suggestion is eating smaller meals. Implementing multiple, smaller meals into your day tricks your body into thinking youre eating more, thus making it work twice as hard. This is the reason starvation diets don't work. When the body is starved, the metabolism has to work less in order to store energy. - 27772
