Women, have you ever wondered if you should be training differently than men? Tune into today’s episode!
In this episode, Liron and I dive into the often debated question of whether women should train differently than men. Our discussion explores the psychological and physiological aspects of exercise preferences and the importance of a well-rounded fitness routine.
We address the tendency for women to gravitate towards cardiovascular exercises, often due to concerns about building too much muscle or appearing “bulky.” However, we emphasize that women are meant to lift weights just as much as men and that doing so offers numerous benefits, especially as we age, including improved bone density, muscle mass, and metabolism.
Throughout the discussion, we stress the importance of symmetrical training for both men and women, highlighting the aesthetic and functional benefits of working the upper body. While we acknowledge that the best exercise is the one you’ll actually do, we encourage listeners to embrace shorter, more intense workouts for optimal results.
Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He’s a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years.
What we discuss:
- Should women train differently than men?
- Psychologically women gravitate toward cardiovascular exercises.
- Why symmetrical training is important.
- The best exercise is the one you’ll do.
- Shorter, more intense workouts are better.
