  • Common Fitness Mistakes for Women
    • Fear of bulking

    Women are afraid to look too “manly”. But, the fact of the matter is…We are simply built differently. We don’t have the same amount of testosterone as men. Our bodies are different, and lifting weights will actually tone us, not bulk us. Operating with this fear of bulking is a big mistake women make because it will affect their health as they age. 

     

    • Too much cardio

    Tina shares that anything over 45 minutes of cardio will start wreaking havoc on your body. It’s the point where your muscles will start to deteriorate and break down. 

     

    • Too small of weight

    Continuing with the theme of “fear of bulking,” if women do start lifting weights, they will lift too lightly. As a general rule of thumb, if you can do 30 reps, it’s too light. 

     

    • Fear of injury

    As with any exercise routine, there are going to be inherent risks of injury, especially as you age! But, who’s to say you won’t go out for a long run and twist an ankle? As with anything, it’s okay to be cautious.  But it’s also important to not let it prevent you from being the best version of you.

     

    When you are starting to lift weights, also make sure it’s under the guidance of a professional. It is important to understand posture and proper form in order to be successful.
