Body Building for Girls

The term "girls," actually refers to teenage girls. Body building isn't just for men or women but girls too. It's not about developing buff muscles but the focus is on being

fit, strong, toned and having a well sculptured body. If you approach training the same way as you do for men or women, then girls can still create a beautiful powerful

body. Girls should always create goals for themselves and what they want to get out of their training. Such goals can

be a number of things from burning body fat, to developing a body for competitive sports. It is always good to set clear goals that you can follow, keep in mind and use

as a motivational boost during your training.

Below are some critical criteria girls should follow prior and during their training:

Think Food

Nutritional values and consumption should be considered carefully. Girls do need different nutrients to boys for

obvious reasons. A high iron and protein intake should be consumed to compensate for loss through menstruation.

Girls should stay away from growth enhancements such as testosterone as this will cause health problems along the way. Boys naturally produce testosterone which makes building muscle faster and easier in comparison to girls.

However girls can still build the muscle through safe natural methods simply by knowing what to eat.

Rest, Rest, Rest

The body needs time to rest, reset and repair damaged muscles and replenish depleted nutrients in the body. By taking time to rest really rest by sleeping well and early and take breaks between workouts. For girls rest is very

important not only for building a great body but for healthy natural growth. Girls will still be growing and body

building can have a bad effect in stemming growth if substantial rest is not carried out.

Consult others FIRST

It can be very tempting to just want to dive into a training program without considering everything. As a young teen with little or no experience, being inspired to do it is great

but it is not everything. You should speak to adults and other young teens that have done body building before, especially those who have displayed positive results. You want to have a great looking and healthy feeling body but

do so safely. Speak to other adults through forums and chat groups, specialist organisations as they can provide you with invaluable information and advice that you can

use to the fullest and prevent injury.

Now you have some key elements to prepare you on your journey. You now know it is for women and girls and that

you can train just as effectively and hard as men do. In doing so you can now begin to see your dreams truly

become a reality. Seeing amazing figures of Hollywood actresses and beautiful strong bodies of female athletes is now not so difficult to achieve. So get training, build your

body and your mind and then watch the results grow exponentially.
