There is your problem. The difference is you posted an "opinionated" video. People are replying with actual facts.
Yes I did ask for Opinions. I just assumed people were reading this to be helpful not input hurtful opinions on whether they thought it was stupid. That's all.
So. Stop being butt hurt and tell us what you're goal is so we can actually help you. Because other wise we are just going to continue to sit around and argue about why we think that training program sucks.
You say you don't have that much information- let us help you- but we need to know what your goal is in order to do that efficiently.
I'm not "butt hurt" but it's like really... Anyways thank you but at this point in the discussion I'm over it. I'll figure it out on my own.
Yeah you are!! Listen to what these people are telling you.0 -

Because we don't know what her goal is. Because she hasn't said so. she could want to be a marathon runner for all we know and just do strength training on the side.0 -
Six pack short cuts. Is'nt that Mike Chang. Most of the notable youtube fitness people usually don't agree with Mr. Chang. Train like a beast if you want to look like a beauty. This goes for your upper and lower body.0

well yeah but i'm saying if someone's neglecting their posterior chain or whatever and setting things up for weird imbalances that is not a good situation to be in. they're free to do it, obviously
I agree with that... but you specifically said women should train for health.
But the reality is- women should train like men do- like ANY SUCCESSFUL ATHLETE does- for a purpose. A goal.
And yes- general health and wellness is a goal- that's fine- a generic over all lifting program is fine too.
meh ...woman need to make sure that they are strong enough to lift the laundry and get the casserole dish out of the oven ..anything other than that is useless...
and that is sarcasm before I get slammed....0 -

I believe I learned my lesson asking for opinions the first time around. And with opinions like that why would I possibly want help from those people now ?

Yep, butt hurt!!!0 -
Specifically training legs is not going to get rid of leg fat any more than training abs will get rid of belly fat.women should train for health - ie such that muscles are developed in a reasonably balanced way to prevent weird biomechanics and vulnerabilities.
that said, as far as aesthetics goes, it's personal preference. i think people can develop their upper body to a point they're happy with (that's balanced, idk what minimum level that would be) and then just maintain that if they want without necessarily progressing in weight.
women's legs DO typically carry way more fat than men's bc of hormones, and if people aren't happy with that, i think it's smart to treat that a bit differently (ie focusing on building up more muscle there to firm things up)
And women should train for whatever they please.

And carrying groceries. Also useful. and more than 5 pounds.0 -

Their suggestion for a workout plan was like this:
Day 1 - Glutes
Day 2 - Hamstrings / Core
Day 3 - Upper Body (all muscles)
Day 4 - Quads / Core
Day 5 - Glutes
Now, they structured this to give women a fit toned sleek look with curves... so what do you all think ?
Reminder: Women, you won't get bulky lifting weights unless you take steroids and that's your goal. We simply don't create enough Testosterone to enhance our muscles the size of men's unless you take some type of muscle enhancer ...
Just though I'd clear that up

I workout a lot and I feel tht this is a good concept because women are not men. There body structure is totally different from men. Genetically they are different. Women should focus on the lower half more because that is where most of the weight is. And they won't be built like a tank. For most morons who said that. Also I believe that people should work out any way they want. If people don't like what someone else says just don't comment. All you trolls out there who would bring another person down just for asking a question should really think why they are doing that. Most of you people probably don't even workout, you just do cardio all day thinking that that is the key. But like arnold said" don't listen to the naysayers". Danielle you got my vote. Keep up the good work and don't let any of these *kitten* tell you otherwise.
Do you even BroScience?

You're missing a great opportunity to get advice from some of the most notably knowledgable lifters in this community.0 -
I am at work so I can't watch the video right now, but I fail to understand why I wouldn't want to strength train my upper body. I mean...having done so allows me to be a stronger tennis player, pick up my 9 year old son when we're goofing around, move air conditioners, push 960 pounds of bagged concrete on a cart that didn't want to budge...0

so you are saying a training program that is 3:1 legs over upper body is superior????????
so when someone has arms like a twig and a rear like Ice T's girlfriend Coco or whatever her name is, you think that is a good look?
