Female Weight Training Workout – Sample for New Program
Hey ladies, below is my current and update weight training routine. I have been off of my workouts for a few weeks during my moving but now back in the gym and stepping up with this 5 day on, 2 rest day weight lifting and weight training routine. In the winter I spent most of my time doing very little cardio and all heavy weight training. This is what most people would consider their “bulking” phase: putting on as much lean muscle mass while not focusing too much on dropping body fat or doing lots of cardio. When it starts to get warmer out I start to pull back on the heavier weight training and add in some cardio (HIIT cardio mostly) to help to burn the small amount of fat I do have covering my muscle to slowly uncover all the muscle I have been building during the colder months. Here is a glimpse of my training routine in the summer “cutting phase”.
The result was I will share below, let me know if you decide to join it and how it works for you:
