Power lifting is for Girls!
Regular exercise is just as important for a healthy heart as a well balanced
diet. Following a regular exercise plan can strengthen your heart as well as your body.
What
are known as power-lifting exercises (squats, clean and press..etc.) have gotten a bum rap. They are associated
with abnormally large, muscle bound men - think offensive linemen for your favorite football team.
The
truth is, full body exercises can be performed by any able body - yes that means ladies too! They require your full attention,
use of multiple body parts (causing more controlled stress on your heart "a good thing"), burn more calories per
minute and require little time. In plain English - You can shed those extra pounds & cellulite much faster with a
little hard work.
A good interval training routine of combined power-lifting exercises
can give you the ultimate workout in far less time then that 5 mile run never want to do. For maintenance
and endurance start with 20 repetitions of a light to moderate amount of weight. Perform each exercise at a moderate to fast
pace and see how fast that heart is beating when you are done.
