The question I receive a lot is “Do you think made for women even work?” and my answer to that is: No.. for the most part.

Problems With The Workout Routines

Terrible Choice Of Exercises

The choices of exercises in a gym workout routine can range from kickbacks to squats and everything in between.

There are a lot of exercises that don’t incorporate some sort of quality movement that utilizes more than one joint.

For example, a tricep kickback utilizes the elbow joint and a bench press utilizes the shoulders and elbows. This is where you get the words isolation and compound movements; isolation is one joint and compound movements are multiple joints.

I’m not saying that a routine that does not include compound movements is not a good one, but I am saying that I have seen workouts that do not make sense and won’t get you results no matter how hard you try.

“Made For Women”

You could go to any website and use a gym workout from any website, but there are some sites like this that specifically say “for women.”

A lot of routines that I’ve seen over the years that are specifically made for women have poor choices in exercises, they do not include any information about how to use this routine to reach your goals, and they generally are “get fit quick” schemes that don’t make any sense.

I scour the internet for content others have posted to see what type of trends and patterns go on and generally speaking there is not many quality workouts being written and the thought of “getting fit quick” sounds better to most people than “work hard for months and really reap the rewards.”

No Passion To Help

It is easy for anyone to slap together a workout plan with no thought or intent to have anyone actually follow it; it is more common than you think.

I personally want to see everyone reach their goals whether it’s losing weight, getting a “,” or compete in .

The Routine Isn’t The Only Problem

The routine may contain poor exercise choices and be marketed for women simply to make money, but on the other side of the coin there is an issue with the commitment and the amount of effort you put into the workout that can affect the outcome of a workout routine.

Lets take a look at some common mistakes many women make that keep them from reaching their goals.

Read everything you can and don’t just listen to your friends; they don’t always have the answers they think they do!
