Ladies, don't be afraid of sweating!

Workout hard: Don’t Be Afraid to Sweat!


It never surprises me how many women want to lose the excess fat, tone up and look amazing, however they don’t like to sweat! I’m laughing as I write this; as I know the women that have said this to me are likely to be reading this article.

The fact is if you want great arms, a firm back side, shapely legs, gorgeous abs, you will need to work hard and sweat!

For a shapely lean and toned body there are 3 things you must embrace:

1) Nutrition – This won’t make you sweat but it’s one of the most important parts of looking great. A diet of fresh, clean and natural foods. Ensure you drink plenty of water, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, good fats, fibre and protein. Go to Rocofit Tools, for free nutritional information: http://www.rocofit.com/tools/

2) Interval training – Leave the slow boring runs behind; embrace interval training. Start off slow and work your way up. Not convinced? Read this article by Charles Poliquin

3) Resistance training – You don’t necessarily need expensive weights or a gym membership to start resistance training. Your own body weight is a great way to start. Excellent exercises for legs are, squats and lunges; for great arms do push ups and dips. With so many excellent trainers uploading videos on youtube you have a wealth of knowledge and expertise and your fingertips.


Sweating might not be considered very feminine but it most definitely is necessary if you want to get your ideal body. All the crunches in the world won’t get you great abs, all the squats in the world won’t get you toned legs. What will is all of the above. So go for it ladies, eat well, work hard and get sweating!
