My take on suggesting training in this way is the concept that muscle burns more calories. Our largest muscle groups happen to be the lower half of our bodies, so by training those muscle groups more heavily you'll burn more calories as those muscles develop. That's just where my head went with this. I'm not sure why it would be more specific to women than men other than women don't like to work out their upper body as much in fear of bulking up. Oh the many myths of weight training lol Just my thoughts.
Thank you ! lol You got exactly what my point was ... I never said the program was right but that's the same concept I gathered watching the video lol
Right, but the concept is wrong. That's the main point.
Ok, so that's fine. Anything else I haven't been told ?
What are your goals?
Maybe you don't know how exactly to answer that, so here are a few others:
Do you just want to lose fat?
Is that your only goal at the moment?
Are you looking to have a fit physique in the end or just be thinner?0 -

Reading the op and a few pages back, it is amazing me that you have some of the most knowledgeable people on MFP offering you advise and you refuse to state your goals.
Maybe women should train different than men...I lift and my husband prefers cardio.
well, we know who wears the pants in that family.... LOL
for the record that is a joke....

The concept is incorrect though and since women have weaker upper bodies it will leave an even greater imbalance.
Hey!
How many times do I have to ask you not to move the computer into the kitchen?!?
ETA: I'm trying to fix dinner and the laptop is right in the middle of my food prep area!
wait, you are a female??????????
Don't worry.
It isn't gay if you didn't know at the time...
...er, I mean, *isn't not* gay.
Wait, what? Now I'm confused...0 -
Anyone can train the way they want. When the OP ask's "what do you think?", opinions will most certainly come in and perceived as being aggressive.zakmccartney79 wrote: »zakmccartney79 wrote: »Danielle721007 wrote: »Hello All, so I am a huge YouTube junkie and I just watched a video from Sixpackshortcuts and Andrea Albright (both who are awesome!) which talked about how women should specifically strength train the lower half of their body ... glutes, hamstrings, quads and calves more so than upper body.

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.
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?
No, but I'm saying when you wanna train te way you want that it is ok. You can't nicely put comments on here without being an *kitten*.

Perhaps more stamina when moving heavy things around?
Or just more stamina for hiking...or shopping at the mall?
So many possible goals you could have...that would drastically affect what advice you would be given...but maybe you could just tell everyone instead of having us guess...because the possibilities are seemingly endless.0 -

I also recommend this book. Even if you don't follow the given program, you'll learn a lot.
Thank you, I appreciate it !
I feel like I said that back on page one...did the OP even read?
Yup, I'm out.

if you really want some solid advice, it would be nice to know what your goals are....
Well my goals are simple to lose an excess amount of body fat. I want to lose fat, not just weight for the number on the scale and add muscle. Right now, I am following my calorie deficient goal and clean eating. I am exercising 5 times a week and this is my current break down.
Day 1 - Chest / Tricep
Day 2 - Bicep / Shoulder
Day 3 - Upper and Lower Back
Day 4 - Legs
Day 5 - Cardio / Abs
Days 6 and 7 are Active Rest days.
(And while I know I am going to be critiqued on how my work outs are set up - it is what it is)
I am heavier in my lower half of my body which is why I found the video interesting.

BF dearest (when he works out- whole other topic) does body weight stuff and cardio- he makes me sad sometimes- but it's his choice. I cook for myself- but he cooks when he visits- and actually does all the car stuff- and big cleaning tasks- I just make sure the house isn't a complete wreck when he is here visiting.

Do you even BroScience?
Thats OP from her alt account obvs
Actually I'm my own person but I believe that people missed the concept. She's not going to train only legs. She just asked about an idea and needed help. That's all. Just answer the questions without being an *kitten*. This is the problem wih our society and yes I can probably lift more than you
we can't answer her question and give her good advice without knowing what her goal was- she threw out there some hookey video and an opinion- and then said "i"m trying to learn and I'm new at this"
here we are- asking what her specific goal is- so we can give her specific FREE advice- and she is deciding she's raging quitting instead of allowing us to help.
All she has to do is say
Tone up- in which case we can happily correct that myth
get stronger
lose fat
be awesome
run a marathon
look good naked
but we can't just ASSUME her goal is to lose fat/get strong/build muscle whatever.
And no- women shouldn't train differently than man- you're full of bull. training where most of your weight is is stupid.
Oh oh oh! *waves*
I'm just here to look good naked.0 -
OP, now you brought in clean eating....lmao ...runs....ducks....and hides while eating ice cream.
I saw that too, but really, there's nothing wrong with clean eating... it's only when clean eating causes people to go postal because they need a little dirty. Some people love it, some people (like myself), need a little of the naughty from time to time.
As long as she is accurately weighing and logging her food, and is at a reasonable deficit... it'll work.0 -

This is a much better program than what the video posts. Compound movements are better than isolation movements for the goal you're trying to reach.Danielle721007 wrote: »Danielle721007 wrote: »Danielle721007 wrote: »alisonkrupp wrote: »I didn't read all the reply's, sorry if this is a repeat.

The concept is building these muscles will eliminate fat from all over the body. Which I LOVE to lift weights and I am going to give this a try ... I just wanted to see what everyone thought about this ?
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.
Wait a second....So if I run I can't saying that I worked out!!???? AWWW crap, this whole time I thought I was working out...:/
Lol - or don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about...thats the easier play
