Ella Muestra Cómo Cambia Tu Cuerpo Si Pasas De Ejercicios De Cardio A Pesas

Rebecca Smith, vive en Inglaterra y siempre ha tenido presente que el deporte y la vida sana son dos cosas muy importantes. Por eso decidió experimentar un cambio y contarlo a través de sus redes sociales, para que la gente también tomara conciencia: pasó de entrenar solo con ejercicios que mejoraban su cardio, ha incorporar pesas en su rutina diaria.

Current ab situation: nada. 4 ish weeks into my first attempt at a proper ‘bulk’ taken its toll faster than I thought 😂 fluffier around the edges & missing the lean life but excited to see some strength gain all over 🍑 Hats off to all the girls that bulk months on end as it’s a lot more mentally challenging than I thought to be actively trying to gain weight and as easy as it may sound eating this much food is a challenge in itself 🐷 but I’ll keep you guys updated along the way 💃🏼 . Was far sweatier than this after our @vlique Lifting four Girls session this morning with @annarhodesfitness 🏋🏼‍♀️ the most asked question I get is how do you get into lifting as it can be so intimidating and I think going to a class like this is so perfect for that, small groups all girls at all different levels and absolutely no judgment just support🙅🏼 even if you’ve been lifting for a while it’s great to train with others and a PT as helped me become aware of some problem areas and how I’m going to fix them! Get yourself on the app & down to a sesh! #liftingforgirls #StrenghFeed

En una fotografía que subió a su Instagram se observan los cambios que comenzó a tener su cuerpo: “Este cambio me influyó por dentro y por fuera”, explicó.

Además, luego del experimento, dio 3 razones por las que es necesario entrenar con pesas:

1. “Primero, el levantamiento acentúa las curvas naturales de la mujer y ayuda a que su cuerpo sea lo más fuerte posible: tonifica el abdomen, fortifica la espalda y levanta el trasero”

LIFTING MAKES YOU MANLY?! – It infuriates me how still so many girls think the second you pick up a dumbbell or protein shake you’ll suddenly become the hulk🏋🏽 changing my training from cardio to weights changed me completely inside & out and each to their own but I personally don’t think I’ve made my body look at all manly in my past year and a bit of weight training! Here are my 3 main reasons for girls to start lifting 🤗 – 1. Building strength & muscles: Lifting builds on a woman’s natural curves and helps your body be the strongest it can. Ripped abs, sexy strong back, shoulder boulders & a curvy behind alll come from lifting 🍑 #strongnotskinny – 2. Loosing that extra body fat: my body fat % saw a MASSIVE fall when I began lifting because as your muscle mass INCREASES your metabolism INCREASES. Before I would spend hours on cardio machines thinking that will get rid of fat but never saw any results and just made me HATE going to the gym, and if you feel like your in that boat now then change it up now! – 3. Healthy relationship with food & body image: when your doing cardio in order to burn ‘calories’ it’s so easy to look at food as numbers and end up feeling guilty for eating too much and feeling like you HAVE to restrict yourself to see results, well that’s just not the case at all. Starting weight training made me realise food is fuel and I need LOTS of it to get the best out of my training 🐷 the amount I eat has honestly trebled since I picked up lifting and I absolutely love it 😂 there’s no restricting and there’s no guilt in indulging in treats once in a while because what better way to fuel a sesh 😏🍑 – Rant over if this convinces one girl to try out weight training mission complete but I wanna see MORE GIRLS in the weights section and get rid of the association that it’s just for boys because it’s not #gainingweightiscool #StrengthFeed #transformationthursday?🤔

2. “Segundo, pierdes la grasa adicional al cuerpo. Mi porcentaje de grasa vio una masiva caída cuando comencé a levantar pesas, puesto que al aumentar la masa del músculo el metabolismo comienza a trabajar más rápido”.

Yesterday’s booty sesh with bae @adamcapel 🍑left me feeling so unbelievably sore 😩 Request for workout vids been heard!!🤗 GLUTES & HAMMIES focused leg workout 🏋🏼‍♀️ This is a typical workout for me to do once or twice a week for lower body! With usually another one focused more on quads💪🏼 1. Barbell Hip Thrusts 4 x 6-8 reps (did this as my compound exercise so go HEAVY, squeeze at the top and hold for 5-10 seconds on last rep) 2. Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift 4 x 10-12 reps (not as heavy as if done with a barbell but I find it easier to get depth and feel it properly in my glutes by using dumbbells!) 3A. Squats 4 x 10-12 reps (lighter weight and higher reps rather than usual, may not look pretty but squeeze tight with the glutes at the top!!) 3B. Walking Lunges 4 x 8 reps each leg (aka 16 steps per set in total) 4A. Cable Kickbacks 3 x 12-15 reps each leg 4B. Leg Curl on Swiss ball 3 x 12-15 reps Wearing @peachgains

3. “Y tercero, Como el triple y no me siento culpable”.

100% a savoury breakfast kinda gal can’t even remember the last day I didn’t start with eggs🍳 Filling, high fat & high protein breakfast to kick me off for the day as always & to fuel my morning shoulder sesh💪🏼 2 fried gold yolk eggs, smoked salmon (fav), wholegrain toast, slow roasted tomatoes with spinach & courgettie Macros: no clue Quiet a lot of you been asking me if I track macros & what they are so just wanna say here I don’t track, I don’t feel the need too & I defiantly don’t think it’s necessary to make progress, I’m training hard & eating harder and most importantly enjoying myself🙏🏼 hope that clears that up hehe😇
