Strength Training Frequency For Women

The strength training frequency for women will vary. It will depend on the health and fitness level of the women as well as their experience, their goals and their method of weight lifting. That may sound like a vague answer, but I can assure you this site is filled with all the answers about strength training frequency for women.

It is probably easiest to make a recommendation first, then provide some guidelines and finish with exact details for each method of strength training.

A few general guidelines that you may want to know about strength training frequency for women:

1)- If you are just beginning a fitness routine, please check with your doctor and receive clearance to exercise.

2)- Ease into a fitness routine if you are just beginning. Strength train 1-3 times per week. I prefer the Basic Strength Training method (3 sets of 12 reps per muscle group).

3)- Always have at least 1-2 days of rest per week. Rest is not a luxury! It is a necessity. If you strength train your arms today let them rest tomorrow. Over working your muscles is not recommended. It leads to injuries.

4)- If you are more advanced then you can consider doing a Pyramid Routine or a SuperSet. You may also want to consider doing a Split Routine. This will increase the strength training frequency for women, but so long as the fitness level matches the frequency... everything should be okay.
