Krachttraining voor vrouwen

Heren, dit is een berichtje speciaal voor de dames maar mee lezen mag natuurlijk!

Door mijn werk als fitness instructrice kom ik veel in aanraking met vrouwen die wat extra gewicht willen verliezen, wat strakker willen worden of een platte buik willen krijgen. Vaak geef ik het advies om zware krachttraining te doen. Helaas krijg ik 99% van de tijd te horen dat ze dat absoluut niet willen, want ze willen niet te gespierd worden.. Nou dames, JE WORD NIET BREED VAN KRACHTTRAINING!!!! Je word breed van snoep en die lekkere chocolade cake...
Geloof mij.. ik ben al een jaar bezig en ik ben wel gespierder geworden, maar ik ben niet mannelijk breed geworden of zo.. Ik heb wel een lager vet percentage, zit lekkerder in mijn vel, mijn buik is veel strakker en ik ben sterker geworden.

Vrouwen moeten harder werken voor spieropbouw dan mannen.. Mannen moeten ook ontzettend hard werken om gespierd te worden (hangt ook weleens af van de bouw van die persoon) dus als vrouw word je al helemaal niet snel gespierd.. Het zit niet in ons.. Wij hebben niet zoveel testosteron als mannen. Na een jaar krachttraining pas ik nog steeds in een jurkje :D

 

Ik zal een voorbeeld geven van mijn krachtschema op maandag. Op die dag train ik benen en schouders. Ik ga meestal voor 4 sets en maximale reps. Pak zwaar gewicht, gewicht waar je ongeveer 8-12 herhalingen mee kan maken en dan het dan echt niet meer gaat!

 

Dag 1
Benen/schouders   4 sets, max reps.
-Clean and press
-squat
-cable front raise
-Squat and press
-Side lunge
-Side raise
-Step ups
-Dumbbell  press
-Deadlift

 

Het kost ongeveer een uurtje van je tijd.. Als je wil kan je er natuurlijk altijd nog wat cardio bij doen!

Heb je vragen over krachttraining? Let me know! Ik wil ze graag voor je beantwoorden!

Why H.I.I.T??

I'm a big fan of H.I.I.T workouts.. The're short and very intense and you'll burn loads of calories!
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a cardiorespiratory training technique that alternates brief speed and recovery intervals to increase the overall intensity of your workout. It's fun to mix up your workouts!

Most endurance workouts such as walking, running, or stair-climbing are performed at a moderate intensity. High intensity workouts are done at a high/explosive intensity.. The are typically sustained for 30 seconds to 3 minutes, although they can be as short as 8-10 seconds or as long as 5 minutes; the higher the intensity, the shorter the speed interval. Recovery intervals are equal to or longer than the speed intervals. High-intensity interval training is done at a submaximal level; around 80-95% of maximal aerobic capacity.

"One of the earliest studies, done by researchers at Laval University (Ste-Foy, Quebec, Canada), kept it basic, using two groups in a months-long experiment. One group followed a 15-week program using HIIT while the other performed only steady-state cardio for 20 weeks. Proponents of steady-state training were pleased to hear that those subjects burned 15,000 calories more than their HIIT counterparts. Those who followed the HIIT program, however, lost significantly more bodyfat. A 2001 study from East Tennessee State University (Johnson City) demonstrated similar findings with subjects who followed an eight-week HIIT program. Again, HIIT proved to be the better fat-burner–subjects dropped 2% bodyfat over the course of the experiment. Meanwhile, those who plodded through the eight weeks on a steady-state program lost no bodyfat."

Why H.I.I.T?
-You'll lose body fat!
-Short workouts
-You can do it at home or at the gym
-You can use al kinds of exercises
-HIIT could be the only way to train for people looking to lose fat while adding and/or preserving muscle mass.


Example of a H.I.I.T workout:

50 seconds work/10 seconds rest. 4 rounds.

1.Mountain climber (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
2.Burpees (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
3.High knees (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
4. Skipping (50 sec)
-10 sec rest
5. Jump squats (50 sec)
-10 sec rest

Another example:

You also can do it with sprints.

-30 seconds sprint
-10 seconds walk
-30 seconds sprint
-10 seconds walk
And just on and on and on... :D

It's Always a good thing to shake your workout up and try something new.. Try this and I'll bet you'll get results!

Why a workout buddy can help you!

Sometimes it's really hard to get off your ass to go to the gym.. You prefer to stay at home, watch some tv and eat some popcorn while you watch a movie... But then your phone rings!! It's your workout buddy to kick your ass and drag you to the gym... :)
There a lot of benefits to have a workout buddy, cause sometimes you just can't do it alone or you just need some help..

There's a big change you'll reach your goals sooner if you workout with a friend.. If you don't want to the other one will get you so far to go to the gym! So instead of 2 times it's easier to go 3 or 4 times if you workout together!
It's more fun to workout if you do it together!  it’s okay to have fun. In fact, the more fun your workouts are, the more you’re going to look forward to and be commited to them over the long-term.
It's easier to try new workouts. Like they say: there’s power in numbers. When you’ve got someone else with you it’s much less intimidating to start using the gym, going to new classes, hitting the free weights or just trying out new exercise equipment.
It's always a good thing to have some one nearby to check your form!
When you workout with eachother it's cool to compete! Try who's faster with rowing or who can lift more...
Your workout buddy has different skills and knowledge than you do – you can benefit from this by the different exercises they introduce you to, the correct form, new workouts and different ways of being active. Variety is one of the key components of fun, so you’re much more likely to stick to your workouts when you can do new things.

What to look for in a workout buddy:
-You like them :D
-You want them to be your fitness role model
-Find someone with a good additude
-Share similar goals
-Compatible schedules

You get better results if you workout with a buddy but it's really important to have a buddy who is just as passionate about it as you! You don't want a buddy who's dragging you down in your preformance and don't want to give it a 100%.. I see a lot of examples in my gym of workout buddies where one of them is very motivated and the other one is bringing her/him down cause they don't want to workout hard.. They just want to talk or just move but not train.. And often the other one is going down with them. You also want to make sure they don’t suffer from the following: constantly make excuses, excessively egotistical, use unhealthy shortcuts (like drugs), overly competitive, obstinate, always late, bad attitude, talk more than they work out… the list goes on and on...
