The best way to build muscle for women is a question that gets asked in my weight loss classes quite often. And not because students want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but because they want to get firm toned bodies that movie stars like Jessica Biel, Demi Moore, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Anniston show off every holiday season.
Today we're going to look at how Asian women slim down, get lean, and tone up their bodies using simple methods that you can use to get the body you're after.
Best Way To Build Muscle For Women - The Skinny Asian Way
You're not going to learn ALL of the fat-burning and belly-shrinking secrets that Asian women have from just a single short article or webpage. But you definitely CAN pick up some of the basics that will get you started on the right path to a better body:
Powerful Movement = Powerful Firming
The best way to build muscle for women doesn't focus around a set of heavy barbells or the traditional weights like the kind men use to pump up.
Instead the beautifully fit bodies that most people women aspire to can be found by using our core (diaphragm) muscles, our legs, and even a chair from the kitchen table.
1. Make peace with the dreaded lunge. Asian women have used versions of the popular lunge to tighten and tone their legs, rear-ends, and backs, for centuries...but did you know that it actually is a great way to THIN your thighs as well?
That's right, contrary to popular belief, lunges will NOT give you thick muscular thighs that won't fit into your skinny-jeans. Quite the opposite.
By doing the movement correctly you actually will THIN your thighs while giving them a rounded athletic look. We don't have the space to go through the exact movement, but a proper lunge is one of your best weapons to tone up and thin-down your trouble areas below the waist...this is why is easily makes our list of a best way to build muscle.
2. The balance ball isn't just for Pilates. Odds are that you've probably got a large exercise or balance ball that you bought last year and has been sitting in the corner collecting dust after just a few uses. It's ok, we've all been there and there's nothing to be ashamed of when exercise equipment doesn't get used...as long as you take action now and start working!
There are a number of great balance ball exercise routines that are easy to do yet stress your core muscles heavily, which is one of the primary ways that female celebrities get their ultra-thin waistlines and create appealing visual curves.
Get your balance ball out of the closet, inflate it, and start on a standard routine and you'll quickly find that the best way to build muscle for women has been under your nose the whole time!
3. Want Michelle Obama's arms? Pull out a chair. Getting toned athletic arms is so important for us ladies to look great in sleeveless tops, evening dresses, and of course swim suits, that it's the #1 request I get from new students.
The best way to build muscle for women in the arm area while still keeping the arm itself lean and thin, is the chair-based dip. Just by grabbing a dinner-table chair, sitting your butt on the edge of the chair with your feet on the floor and your palms supporting yourself on each side of your thighs, you can lower yourself to the ground using nothing but your triceps muscle...which is the leading loose or flabby area on most women's arms.
You'll need to work up some strength, don't push yourself too far, but shoot for 5 dips (repetitions) per set and 2 total sets every other day.
4. What If You're Still Not Toning Up And Getting Lean? If you're not able to get the body you want from the above, you'll want to learn a more powerful secret free method that Asian women use to force fat off of their belly and thighs in less than a month...without starving or doing crazy workouts.
This method works fast and is very simple, the full details on how to do it are in the free report here: Best Way to Build Muscle. I actually do it myself while relaxing on the couch watching TV, and it works amazingly well.
