2. The term "girls," actually refers to teenage girls. Body
building isn't just for men or women but girls too. It's not
about developing buff muscles but the focus is on being
fit, strong, toned and having a well sculptured body. If you
approach training the same way as you do for men or
women, then girls can still create a beautiful powerful
body. Girls should always create goals for themselves and
what they want to get out of their training. Such goals can
be a number of things from burning body fat, to
developing a body for competitive sports. It is always good
to set clear goals that you can follow, keep in mind and
use as a motivational boost during your training.
3. Below are some critical criteria girls should follow prior
and during their training:
5. Nutritional values and consumption should be considered
carefully. Girls do need different nutrients to boys for
obvious reasons. A high iron and protein intake should be
consumed to compensate for loss through menstruation.
Girls should stay away from growth enhancements such as
testosterone as this will cause health problems along the
way. Boys naturally produce testosterone which makes
building muscle faster and easier in comparison to girls.
However girls can still build the muscle through safe
natural methods simply by knowing what to eat.
7. The body needs time to rest, reset and repair damaged
muscles and replenish depleted nutrients in the body. By
taking time to rest really rest by sleeping well and early
and take breaks between workouts. For girls rest is very
important not only for building a great body but for
healthy natural growth. Girls will still be growing and body
building can have a bad effect in stemming growth if
substantial rest is not carried out.
9. It can be very tempting to just want to dive into a training
program without considering everything. As a young teen
with little or no experience, being inspired to do it is great
but it is not everything. You should speak to adults and
other young teens that have done body building before,
especially those who have displayed positive results. You
want to have a great looking and healthy feeling body but
do so safely. Speak to other adults through forums and
chat groups, specialist organisations as they can provide
you with invaluable information and advice that you can
use to the fullest and prevent injury.
10. Now you have some key elements to prepare you on your
journey. You now know it is for women and girls and that
you can train just as effectively and hard as men do. In
doing so you can now begin to see your dreams truly
become a reality. Seeing amazing figures of Hollywood
actresses and beautiful strong bodies of female athletes is
now not so difficult to achieve. So get training, build your
body and your mind and then watch the results grow
exponentially.
