Tip: Compound moves for a compact build

Women are usually terrified of the one section of the gym that holds the key to their body transformation.

It's the area where the 'big boys' train. They grunt, sweat, bang weights on the floor...it's all so intimidating.

But there's one thing you'll notice there...ALL of the best bodies in the gym are in this one place, right? So, if you want to be like them, you better get among them...you will have to venture into the WEIGHTS AREA.

But what should you do when you get there?

Well, here's the secret - you need to do exercises that train the largest muscle groups in your body.

Doesn't it make sense that it's more effective to train larger muscles than smaller ones? These 'compound' exercises force your body to adapt to the stress of exercise by secreting hormones and using nutrients far more effectively than bosu ball crunches or biceps curls with little pink dumbells.

Some exercise suggestions:

Note: YOU WILL NOT GET HUGE LIKE A BODYBUILDER! THEY USE DRUGS FOR THAT.

Squats

Deadlifts

Push-ups (watch the video below for how you can train yourself to do push-ups even if you can't do them now)

Pull-ups (watch the video below for how you can train yourself to do pull-ups even if you can't do them now)

Standing press

Bent-over rows

Kettlebell swings

If you centre your workouts around these exercises and make progress in terms of building your strength, you will see amazing results in both fat loss and lean muscle gain.

Note again: YOU WILL NOT GET HUGE LIKE A BODYBUILDER! THEY USE DRUGS FOR THAT.
