Resistant training generally means exercising your muscles by use of
opposing force including resistance bands or dumbbells. Resistance training exercises for women
gives a woman a firm and shapely body. A woman who wants to have a firm and shapely body will
benefit from one to three resistant training workouts in a week when combined with other regular
aerobic exercises for women.
Resistant bands used in resistance training provide the extra resistance
for muscles of a woman while exercising. The band is secured around a fixed point and used to
resist movement of muscles thereby resulting in exercise of muscles and making them firm. The
importance of using resistant bands is they can be used for full body workout. Resistance training
exercises for women include the following:
Bicep Curl
The use of resistance band is required. The body part of a woman in focus
for exercising is bicep of muscles. Bicep curl resistant training involves the
following:
- The resistant band is run underneath the woman’s feet. The ends of the
band are then held in each hand with the palms facing forwards.
- The resistance should be altered to create some tension when the arms
are relaxed on the sides. The feet should be hip distant apart and the knees soft. The woman should
stand tall. This is the start position of the bicep curl resistant training exercise for
women.
- Next is the movement position. By keeping the elbow pinned on the sides,
the arms are then bend by pulling the band until when the elbows come to right angles of each
other. This position should be held on to shortly. Then return to start of exercise
position.
Lateral Raise
Equipment needed here again is the resistant band. This resistant training
exercise program targets the back, arms and shoulders of a woman.
- The start position: the resistant band is run underneath the feet.
The ends of the band are then held in each hand with the palms facing inwards.
- The resistance of the band is altered so that it is challenging to raise
arms out of the shoulder level. The feet should be made to be hip distant apart and knees be soft.
A woman should stand tall.
- Movement position of the lateral raise resistant exercise involves
the keeping of arms in straight position. The arms are then raised out on the sides and up to the
shoulder level. This position should be held on to shortly before one comes to the starting
position.
