You need to be strength training. 

As the author here at Tone-and-Tighten.com I frequently get emails from females asking me about strength training. The biggest concern is wanting to slim down and tone up but without putting on bulk.

I get this question so much I actually decided to put it in a blog post – you can read my Tone vs Bulk explanation here. Suffice it to say strength training in women boosts metabolism, results in greater fat loss, tightens muscles, and simply makes you healthier. When your muscles are strong they are more efficient and better-able to support you throughout whatever activity you’re undertaking.

That’s why today for T&T’s “Weekly Workout Plan” I decided it would be cool to share 10 of my favorite at-home strength-training routines specifically designed for the ladies looking to Tone and Tighten.

Coming at you right now – hope you enjoy them!

Strength training is for everyone- ladies included. Most women who exercise spend more time on cardio and hardly any time on strength training. Stop avoiding the weights- you will get some great benefits from lifting.

The list of benefits from weight training is impressive. You will be physically stronger. Your arms, legs, back, abs, and all major muscles will be stronger which will make daily tasks much easier including chores, lifting kids, chasing kids, groceries, laundry, etc.

You will also lose weight, tone and define your muscles without adding bulk (you don’t have the same hormones as males to cause muscle hypertrophy), improve your athletic performance, and you will decrease risk of chronic disease such as osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes and heart disease. Plus any type of exercise will help improve your attitude and fight off depression.

Convinced now to try weight training but don’t know where to start? That’s why I created this 10 day strength training workout round up for you! Get the workouts below.   

Sure, doing a lot of cardio workouts can help you burn a lot of calories and lose weight fast, but did you know that lifting weights brings more benefits than cardio alone?

Any women who wants to lose weight should definitely spend time weight training. Lifting weights helps you to burn calories (especially heavier weights) to lose weight and get toned, plus more muscle helps you to burn more calories at rest all throughout the day. In the long run, it’s worth it to add strength training to your weight loss routine. 

Day Ten
Exhaust Your Abs Workout

Work your abs harder than you thought you could. Get ready to torch your midsection with exercises that require you to lift your legs/hips plus your shoulders up off the floor to target your lower and upper abs at the same time. Flatten your stomach and carve definition you never though possible with 5 of my favorite ab exercises combined into one amazing 15-minute workout.
