When you are losing weight you think about how many calories you are taking in each day.

Well, what about getting the right weight loss exercise for toning your muscles?

Many women forget about their muscles when it is a major consideration.

Here’s why…did you know strength training exercise  means more lean muscle?

Yes! You actually get to burn more calories in any given day…

When you get your weight off you want to reveal muscle tone and you can easily do it with strength training exercise.

You may not have thought about strength training exercise because you are a woman.

Many women don’t give it a second thought because they think a strength training exercise will give them a manly torso and hulking arms.

You don’t have to worry about this, and this is no reason to avoid the weights. You’ll not bulk up like a man unless you take supplements to aid in this process.

The most that will happen is you will lose weight faster, have a more feminine body tone and you will look amazing at the end of your weight loss journey.

Look better, feel better and enjoy more femininity…that doesn’t sound so bad now does it?

You can find out which strength training exercise is better for you by visiting your local gym. Most gyms have personal trainers to help out their clients, and they can show you any number of simple steps that helps you get results.

You may need to add simple weight routines to your exercise program to get the results you are looking for.

You don’t have to lay down on a weight bench to get the benefits of exercise which is all part of a good strength training exercise program.

It is much simpler than you think.

You may also find a good strength training exercise by looking online, hint, hint. Just remember what when you work with any sort of weight you want to make sure you have proper form and breathing.

They are just as important than the actual strength training exercise. If you don’t not work with weights properly you can hurt yourself.

It is easy to learn proper form and breathing, however, so don’t stop yourself from looking into this because you fear it will be too complicated.

If you already do aerobics you already have the breathing part down anyway.

You only need to do this type of exercise for about twenty minutes two to three times a week to get the results you are looking for…

Underactive Thyroid?

Could Your Weight Gain be Caused by an Underactive  Thyroid?

An underactive thyroid is a common problem among women who suffer from chronic weight gain and have difficulty burning off the unwanted pounds.

And the condition, known medically as hypothyroidism, can have a variety of different symptoms.

Some typical symptoms experienced by women with an underactive thyroid include:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Constipation
  • Thinning hair
  • dry skin,
  • sore and aching  muscles
  • Difficulty maintaining concentration
  • Depression
  • Fertility issues
  • Brittle nails
  • Reduced heart rate…

The most common symptom of all, however is weight gain.

Since the thyroid gland is responsible for hormones that regulate the metabolism, an underactive thyroid can lead directly to a slow metabolism, prompting your body to store energy from food as body fat.

A slow metabolism, meanwhile, can make it almost impossible to burn off the added weight through diet and exercise.

Trying to overcome a chronically sluggish metabolism through diet and exercise alone is almost guaranteed to be a losing battle…

Unfortunately, many women who suffer from hypothyroidism are unaware of their condition and mistkenly assume that their weight gain comes from some other source.

Women experience continual frustration when their good-faith efforts at dieting produce little or nothing in the way of results…

Do you feel discouraged or convinced that your weight gain is “genetic.”

Fortunately, there are a number of good options for restoring thyroid function once an underactive thyroid has been diagnosed by a thyroid test.

If you believe you may have an underactive thyroid gland, your first step is to speak with your physician to arrange a thyroid test and go over options for thyroid treatment.

These may include supplemental hormones, which must be taken indefinitely in order to avoid deficiencies.

However, hormone replacement does come with some risks, including the risk of developing an overactive thyroid, whch can result in symptoms like elevated heart rate.

For women concerned about the side effects or cost of hormone therapy, restoring the normal healthy function of your thyroid may also be possible through a combination of a good diet and supplements.

Any decision you reach should be made in close consultation with your doctor, since the thyroid is not something you’d want to tackle on your own unless you happen to have a degree in endocrinology.

Once your thyroid hormones are back to normal, (normal thyroid) whether through hormone replacement or other means, your metabolism will correct itself, and you’ll fiind it much easier to lose weight.

Perhaps you’ll also enjoy significantly more energy, which can help you stick to a new exercise routine.
