How to Build an Athletic Sexy Female Body

In the previous post, I outlined ways to start building a sexy female body. I spoke about nutrition habits and the importance of preparation in nutrition and I also included the picture of Serena Williams (you’re welcome!). In this post, I am going to outline how to sculpt the physique of a Greek warrior goddess! Let the battle commence! The Female Body is a sight to behold! I found this interesting poll on one of my favorite sites check it out: Ideal Female PhysiqueBurn, Baby, BurnWhen you have sorted out your nutrition and have a steady diet plan that is consistent and easy to follow, you can begin to burn fat to reveal your physique and definition, if that is your goal. However, saying this I feel the need to remind you that you need to be within 10lbs or so from your goal weight for you to see relatively quicker results, and if not you need to put in the time and effort to get there first. A person that is in decent shape can get “event ready” or in excellent shape within weeks while someone carrying a lot of excess weight will have to spend at least 3 to 6 months getting into a decent shape.

Therefore it is a must to stay in decent shape all year round and then when you need to get ready for a special occasion, you can whip yourself into shape quicker. Okay, now on to my favorite fat burning workouts. Interval training, in my opinion with proven results from research, is the best way to burn fat and there are different ways to go about doing it, to match your needs and circumstances. (Click on the links to learn more about interval training). A few tips need to be considered when using intervals. Firstly, we need to use specific warming up methods to get the body ready. The warm-up should closely resemble the actual workout about to be performed. There are still a lot of people who get on treadmills and get ready for an intense fast-paced interval workout by walking slowly on the treadmill.

If anything, this increases your chance of injury so you’ll be better served using other more effective methods such as, calisthenics or body-weight exercises (jumping jacks, push-ups, lunges, etc.) or even skipping to raise your body’s temperature up. As for the workout itself, we must make sure to push ourselves because the name of the game is high intensity. We must learn to get out of our comfort zone. For instance, most people will go on a stationary bike or other elliptical machine and work at about 50 % of their capability when in actuality they need to be pushing at about 70 – 80% as hard as they can push with their capabilities. (The lady in the video above has very good looking running mechanics as was stated, but one thing I would change up is where the guy said “get your breathing back to 100 %”, this is okay for beginners to interval training but for the more experienced, I would say do not wait to catch your breath back before going on to the next sprint as this releases more lactic acid and helps burn more fat).

Doing this form of interval training has been proven to help burn fat quicker than other methods, as well as, toning the legs well and giving it an athletic look and improving your cardiovascular endurance. As always, try to better yourself when training with intervals. Always look to go faster or reduce your rest periods, as this will mean improved performance and therefore an improved physique. The Missing PieceMost women avoid weights with a passion. They have the notion that weight lifting automatically means “bulky bodybuilder look”. Ironically, this is usually the link needed to tone up that body to get it tight. And for the women that do use weights, they often end up using what is humorously referred to as “barbie weights”. Ladies, if you’re looking to tone up, these do nothing for you! The fear is that lifting heavy will make them bulk, but the truth is unless you overeat excessively you will not bulk up.

Lean Physique

And even if you do manage to rival the eating habits of a professional bodybuilder (which you shouldn’t!), your bodily hormones will make bulking up harder as you do not have enough of the hormone testosterone. The best way to achieve the toned and lean look is to train using heavy weights and low repetitions (3-5 maximum). Training in this fashion means your body will not have enough stimulus to gain muscle but will still be trained enough to achieve your end goal of a lean physique. However, once you start training in this fashion and you find yourself putting on more muscle than you’d like, just tone down the training volume and lower your calories. I do not want to go into too much detail with strength training as I will explain all that in a future post, but for now, this is what I believe will help to create the lean physique that most women would love to exhibit on the beach.

Have a ponder on these and see if you can incorporate them into your lifestyle.
