Building lean muscle and maintaining your fitness level is a challenge for anyone. The only way to achieve the best results is to make sure you are working with your body to help maximize your workouts. Women and men build muscle in different ways. Here are some tips, specifically for women, to help you build muscle fast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Many women tend to repeat exercises with weights that they can easily handle. But building muscle mass \u2013 especially quickly \u2013 will depend on exercise that pushes the boundaries. You need to add more weight \u2013 that you can safely lift, of course. The goal is hypertrophy. This is when an external stimulus is placed on the muscle, stimulating it, and encouraging growth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
To make sure you are choosing a weight that is challenging but not impossible, you should be able to lift it 10 times. It should be challenging, but never painful or impossible. If you overstress your muscles, you can cause injury. The big takeaway here is not to underestimate your strength or your capabilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you want to see quick muscle gain, the real secret is to remain consistent. Occasionally working out will not give you the results you want. Remember, women go through various hormonal changes in their lifetime. These hormonal imbalances can make exercise a challenge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
But consistency, no matter what hormonal effects you are feeling, will keep your muscles growing. Women can best build muscle by keeping up with a consistent and frequent exercise regimen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
After working out your muscles so intensely, you will want to take in some protein. Ideally, protein shakes are your best bet. Whey protein powders tend to be the most popular. Protein not only helps your muscles recover from a strenuous workout, but it can also help build lean muscle mass.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Get into the habit of having a daily protein shake after your workouts. This will help your body recover and get ready for the next workout. You can also get protein from lean meats, poultry, eggs, fish, and legumes. If you want to maintain frequency and consistency while building lean muscle, protein is a must.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In addition to protein intake, make sure you are eating enough calories for your body weight. Include healthy carbs like rice and sweet potatoes into your diet, as well. Women may be looking to bulk up on muscle and lean down on fat. This sometimes pushes women to eat less, but that is counter-intuitive. Getting enough healthy calories allows you to build more muscle, faster!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
