Don't Do Weight Lifting Before...1

Many women begin to understand the benefits of weight lifting for weight loss program and for toning muscle. Take the weight lifting or muscle exercise min. 3 times a week, and you will see the result after 1-3 months ! However, unlike men, women must stop their weight lifting exercise at least once a month.

Why ? Your ovulation period is the reason.

Have you ever suddenly felt exhausted in the middle your exercise, although you haven’t completed all your exercises ? That might happen on the days when you had your period!

A research done by Loma Linda University in California found that your muscle power decreases around 10 – 14 days to your ovulation period. The decrease caused by your hormone fluctuation. When you do exercise, especially weight lifting exercise, your power will decrease up to 50%.

The solution ?

Use lighter weight.
Drink more, to increase your hormone metabolism.
Have a more fun exercise for woman, such as treadmill with your i-pod on your ears playing your favourite music, low impact aerobics or belly dancing.

Anyway, it’s the only day you can really enjoy your time while still exercising !
