Many women, having chosen a “male” training plan, do not achieve visible results. There is an explanation for this! The fact is that a competent training program for girls is drawn up taking into account the characteristics of the female body.
The training program for girls has a number of features. It’s not for nothing that many women, having chosen a truly masculine training plan, do not achieve visible results. The difference in the anatomical features of the structure of the body does not allow them to achieve the desired effect. Why does this happen, and what to do in this case?
Training program and features of the female body
Training programs for men and women are different, and rightly so. The reason is the characteristics of the body. In particular, representatives of the fair half contain much less testosterone and norepinephrine, so they are physically unable to strain their muscles to failure during strength training, which greatly limits their ability to work out muscles.
Women also have fewer muscle fibers in their bodies, so they need to perform more repetitions than men to achieve the same performance. The best option for girls is 12-15 times, while guys can limit themselves to 6-8.
The main part of the muscles in a woman’s body is located in the lower part of the body and falls on the legs and buttocks. That is why, even with a super-effective training program created specifically for girls, it is much more difficult for them to pump up their chest, back, and abs.
Particular attention should be paid to the process of carbohydrate absorption. In this regard, the female body behaves differently than the male body. Remember: it is much easier for girls to gain weight by consuming large amounts of flour products, cereals and sweets, because excess carbohydrates quickly take the form of fat deposits.
But! You cannot refuse them, since they are necessary for building muscles. If you don't have a goal to build bodybuilder muscles, you need to take care of proper nutrition to get rid of excess fat and build muscles. This is necessary in order to get yourself into an attractive athletic shape.
The menstrual cycle also leaves its mark on the training program for girls. Within two weeks after ovulation, a woman’s body goes into strict energy saving mode.
This means that the intensity of training can be reduced, and exercises on the legs and abs can be completely eliminated, since they will be almost useless.
But in the first half month after the end of the menstrual cycle, on the contrary, you need to load the muscles to the maximum. The effectiveness of the training will be high.
In order for the effectiveness of training for girls to meet expectations, in no case should they include elements of split training designed for myofibrillar hypertrophy. Women have different goals, so they should rather do full-body workouts.
Maximum effectiveness from exercises aimed at burning fat can be expected with prolonged low-intensity exercise with a heart rate of no more than 120-130 beats per minute according to the Karvonen method.

How to create a training program for a girl
Distribute the intensity of exercise for each month depending on the menstrual cycle. This will allow you to work out more effectively in the gym. When creating a basic training program for girls, consider the following points.
Don't forget that the muscles of the chest and back need the same load as the buttocks or legs. Therefore, you need to select a comprehensive exercise program for the whole body. For an example, check out the following basic workout.
The duration of an ideal workout for girls should be at least an hour. It is this load that will allow you to work out all muscle groups of the body and do the required number of repetitions. Under no circumstances should you distribute workouts for different muscle groups by day of the week.
These are the main points that influence the preparation of a fitness training program for girls. Use them in your practice, it will help you achieve more significant results.
Best Strength Workouts for Women: Pump
This program was developed by the fitness company Les Mills and has clear rules. The main attribute of the workout is a special stacking barbell weighing from 0.5 to 50 kg. A distinctive feature: the exercises are performed at a fairly fast pace (compared to the gym) and do a lot of repetitions. In an hour, all muscle groups are worked out in turn: legs, buttocks, back, abs, chest, shoulders, arms. “Simple exercises are used, mostly basic and symmetrical,” says Ruslan Panov. “This makes it possible to focus on the sensations of tension and quality technique. We work at different paces, with continuous approaches reaching 7 minutes.”
Due to the pace and a large number of repetitions, the main muscle groups are perfectly worked out and endurance improves. So exercisers develop muscles and burn fat at the same time. The training quickly gives an effect, for which women come to strength training. So Pump can safely be considered a hit in strength training for girls.
Three training programs for girls
The first workout is 60 minutes long. Reducing the rest time between sets will reduce the overall workout time and increase its energy efficiency.
However, if you feel that you are too tired, you can give your body time to adapt and increase the rest time between sets to two minutes, and also reduce the working weight.
This workout for girls is based on a high number of approaches and repetitions.

The purpose of the training is to stimulate the accumulation of glycogen in the muscles of the body, which occurs more easily in women than in men. By using the carbohydrates you eat to build muscle, you can prevent fat formation.
Features of the fitness training program
- There is only one exercise that stands out for working out the lower body – the squat. This is explained by the fact that it is much easier for girls to build muscle in their legs and buttocks than for guys.
- There are no special chest exercises that reduce the size of the mammary glands. To tone the muscles under the gland, it is enough to perform a bench press with a narrow grip, which is designed to work the pectoral, anterior deltoid and triceps muscles.
Gradually, as your preparedness improves, new exercises should be added to the program. This should happen no earlier than six months after the start of classes.
Training for experienced girls
Training for girls of average and above level of preparedness may look like this.
The main goal is to increase the volume of training to provide the muscles with sufficient load. But you shouldn’t be overzealous either - energy expenditure and the need for oxygen increase with decreased rest.

The strength fitness programs included in this article are examples only. They contain aerobic and strength components, but do not include stretching exercises, with the exception of program #4. Each program has options for different body types. Choose the option that suits your somatotype. Additional exercises include walking, running and aerobics.

Please note that all of the above programs solve general problems, but cannot fully take into account your individual needs. Once you have the necessary skills and experience, consult with a professional consultant who can help you create a personalized program.
Due to genetics and individual adaptability, it may be that once you reach an intermediate or advanced level of training your performance will begin to improve very slowly or your progress will stop altogether. Even excessive load may stop bringing noticeable success.
If you work on the same program for a long time, then after a while you reach a so-called plateau, when the results stop growing as actively as at the beginning of training. To overcome this stage, it is necessary to further individualize the program and change the intensity, type and duration of exercises more often. Seasonal training cycles have proven themselves well. For example, in the winter it is advisable to focus on building a good foundation for aerobic and strength training, and in the spring and summer include shorter, more intense workouts that are in line with your program goals.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STRENGTH TRAINING[edit | edit code]
- Carefully read the recommendations for strength training for women
- Allow time for a good warm-up, paying particular attention to the muscles and joints you plan to work during your workout. Aerobic exercises in the program can be used as a warm-up.
- Marked "max." in programs means that it is necessary to do the maximum possible number of repetitions, observing the correct technique.
- Each program is accompanied by numbers that indicate the level of intensity.
- When choosing a weight, choose a weight that allows you to perform a given number of repetitions with proper technique, with the last two being difficult but not impossible for you. If you feel muscle tightness the next day, slightly reduce your training load. You should feel that the workout is having a certain effect, but it should not be associated with physical limitations or pain. Learn the difference between “helpful” pain (training effects) and “harmful” pain (damage and injury). The latter is a warning sign that should not be ignored.
