If you were to ask a group of  women what their fitness goals were I guarantee the top two answers would be a nice flat tummy and a firm sexy butt like j-lo. Funny thing is, even my grand mother said to me “Hey Anth, How can I get a J-Lo Booty?” Lol!

So what is the secret to the nice butt and sexy tummys that are in such high demand?

Simple. Weight training for women.

Women absolutely need to train with weights, but for some reason ladies think that they need to steer clear of the weights. This couldn’t be further from the truth. When a women refuses to use weights in her workout program she is actually doing herself a disfavor.

Let’s take a look at one of my favorite female bodies, Jamie Eason from Bodybuilding.com.

Jamie Eason has one nicest bodies I have ever seen on a women. She’s got the whole package. As you can see in the picture she definitely has a flat tummy and you can bet your ass that she has a nice butt. I don’t want to post any offensive pictures, but if you don’t believe me just type her name in Google images.

Want to know a secret about Jamie Eason? She uses weights.

The benefits of weight training for women don’t stop at a nice butt and abs.Plenty of women also want to have toned up arms and guess how you can achieve nice arms? You guessed it… weight training.

While there are plenty of weight training programs for women, the shocking truth is that men and women don’t need to train differently. A women can train with weights the same way as a guy. Don’t worry ladies, you won’t turn into some big meat head. It’s impossible. Women just don’t have the high levels of testosterone pumping through their bodies that it would take to get that big. So don’t be fooled there are no special weight training exercises for women. Girls just look better doing them then us guys

So next time you hit the gym, take a step outside of your comfort zone. Leave the cardio area and go pick up some real weight!

Are you a female who recently starting using weights in your routine? Do you plan on using weights in your routine? Why don’t you use weights in your routine?
