Weight Loss or Gain When You Are Working Out
When a women continues gain weight or doesn’t really notice a change in body weight after working out over a period of time, it can be very frustrating. However, if your are going through something like this, there is a very specific reason or a root cause why this is happening to you.
You’re going to have to start by throwing your scale away and stop relaying on your weight as a measurement. The scale just spits a number back at you and this number doesn’t really mean anything because there is more to your weight and your body size that just what a scale shows you.
1. Your Putting Muscle On and Not Fat
You have to realize that muscles weighs more then fat. You can then lose some of your actual body size and gain weight at the same time. So when you see that you are not really losing weight even though your are losing inches off your waist or other parts of your body, it’s because you are putting on healthy lean muscle mass through your weight training for women.
This does not mean that you are putting on size. What you are doing is building lean muscle mass and while burning fat, which is taking inches off your body so you are really getting slimmer, leaner and most importantly healthier.
2. Not Changing Your Workout Enough
This is very common when it comes to fitness. Every time I’m in the gym, I see the same women time and time again doing the same exercise routines without making any noticeable changes… I’m surprised they are still trying. But the thing is your body is designed to get better the more you do something. So the workout that these women are currently doing becomes to easy to continue to see any improvements.
Make sure you change your workout at the very least every four weeks. Do this and you will consistently see results from month to month.
3. Still Eating Bad Foods
This is a problem that so many people struggle with and it kills your chances for great results. I’ve talked to many women who think they can eat whatever they want because they workout, but doing that will only lead to frustration. A good workout, no matter how good it is, can never compete with a really bad diet. Food plays so many games with your body that all the energy and time you’ve put into your workout plans will be for nothing.
