Gym Workout Routines For Women

Is it me or is toning a really funny word? Anyway, I digress… Loads of you ladies out there want to know how to tone up your buttocks, tone up your legs or tone up your arms. And of course you have to tone UP, not DOWN – no no no that would be a bad thing – UP it is all the way! Well hopefully this women’s toning workout routine post will help you out.

First of all you want to get firm, not big so you have to make sure you do the right exercises. There are loads of websites out there and even personal trainers that are trying to make women look just like men. I mean seriously who wants to look at a woman and see a man’s physique? Nobody, right?

All the guys want to see a firm feminine physique and all the ladies want a firm feminine physique, so this is how you do it.

My recommendation is to get down and funky with loads of bodyweight exercises, throw in some cardio and of course include some white dumbbell exercises.

Best of all with this type of routine the most about of equipment you’re going to need is a set of dumbbells and a bench. If you head to your local gym then you are going to find loads of dumbbells and loads of benches that you can use. However if you want to workout at home and it really doesn’t cost that much for a set of dumbbells and a good bench.

In fact I reckon you could probably buy all the equipment you need for under $100.

So what type of exercises are good for you?

A great place to start is with compound exercises. This is where you do to separate exercises consecutively, but they both target different muscle groups. This allows each muscle group to rest what you work on the other muscle group.

A great example of this would be to do some simple bodyweight squats, say 15 reps, followed by a set of stomach crunches whilst lying on a Swiss gym ball – 10 to 15 reps would be great.

You could then repeat each set three times and all of this would be complete in around five minutes, but you will have worked out your hamstring muscles quadricep muscles, buttocks and of course your abdominal muscles.

Now thats timesaving and a great workout.

For your upper body you could follow the same method. Try alternating between push-ups that will work out your triceps and chest with some dumbbell bicep curls which work the front pair of bicep muscles on each arm.

Obviously there are hundreds of different exercises you can do and hundreds of different combinations for these compound workouts. Whatever routine you eventually choose the use of your own bodyweight and/or white dumbbell waits will result in a firm, toned and feminine physique.

Perfect!

A great program I often recommend uses exactly this principle of a simple set of dumbbells and one bench. Crazy results, check it out here – Toning Routine
