Ladies Gym Exercises Specific for Women

 

It's important to note that while many of the workout routines in a ladies gym look very ordinary, the truth is that all of these exercises are implemented specifically for women. Females have dissimilar body types from males, and as such, require specific workout routines. The following are few exercises that target the arm, abdomen, chest and leg.

 

Arm exercises are mostly variation of the usual push-ups. For women, however, the intensity of the training is slightly different. The weight handling, for example, is reduced to prevent unnecessary strain. Lying face-down on the floor, both hands planted downwards at shoulder level, a little wider than the length of the shoulder, the exercise seems similar to the usual push-ups.

 

The floor leg lift is a good example of ladies gym exercise routine that targets the abdominal muscles. It is done by lying flat, back on the floor, and putting the arms under the buttocks or at the sides. That is the start position. The legs are lifted five inches off the ground. Legs together, the person has to try to keep in that position for as long as she can, and then back again at the start position.

 

For the chest exercise, the incline press works best. In this ladies gym routine, the person lays on a slanted bench, head resting back comfortably. Holding dumbbells in both hands, both at shoulder level, the person is to push the dumbbells away, straitening her arms, and then pull them back to the start position.

 

Last is called the face-down dog exercise, which targets the legs. Feet spread apart slightly, hands bent over, the person's knees should touch the floor. That is the start position. Slowly, picking up the knees, the person is to push her legs straight; and her buttocks, backwards. After holding on that pose for as long as possible, the person reverts to the start position.
