High Performance Health Bitesize: Stronger, Leaner & Confident: The Workout Strategy Every Woman Needs for Lasting Results | Vince Sant
Angela is joined by fitness guru Vince Sant, to talk about the complexities of women's fitness, particularly as they approach perimenopause and beyond. The discussion emphasises the importance of resistance training, clarifying the benefits of lifting heavier weights versus higher repetition ranges for body composition and muscle definition
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Muscle vs. Fat: Muscle is denser than fat, so building muscle while burning fat results in a leaner, toned appearance.
- Optimal Rep Ranges: For strength, use low reps (5x5). For body composition, prioritize 8-15 reps to maximize muscle fiber engagement and metabolism.
- Intensity Matters: Challenge muscles during workouts for better results. Proper effort is crucial, regardless of weight range.
- Debunking Myths: Women won’t “bulk up” by lifting heavier weights due to hormonal differences. Resistance training builds lean muscle and boosts metabolism.
- Fasted vs. Pre-Fueled Training: The best approach depends on your schedule and personal preference. Consistency and enjoyment are key for long-term adherence.
- Progress is Nonlinear: Everyone has off days. The focus should be on discipline and maintaining habits, even when motivation wanes.
