Women Building Muscle

Not everyone responds to weight training the same way as we all have different genetic makeups. Women generally build muscle differently than men. In fact, you may find the scale going up as you burn fat and gain muscle at the same time. Woman generally fall under three different types of body classifications which include mesomorphs, endomorphs, and ectomorphs. Mesomorphs are more muscular and are more likely to build muscle faster as opposed to endomorphs and ectomorphs. Endomorphs are more volumptous and rounded, and in order to see results in building muscle more body fat has to be lost in order to see a change from weight training. Ectomorphs are more likely to not build muscle mass but will see an improvance in strength and become stronger from resistance training. Be honest with yourself and understand your body type so you can set realistic goals and expectations. Your exercise plan to build muscle needs to not just focus on lifting but also on two other components which are cardio, and a core midsection workout. Making sure you have a combination with all three components will help you get results you are seeking. As for nutrition, expect to eat more as you will find your appetite will increases as your body will need more daily essentials as it is building muscle. Stay away from fad diets and really no diet is needed if you have achieved you weight goal. As long as you are eating balanced and nutritionally well there is no need to diet. Don't worry as you will burn plenty of calories daily with more muscle mass. Have fun and reap the rewards of building muscle!
