Women weight training

http://highintensitynation.com Here we have another video live from the "Pain Cave", this time featuring Patty performing a brutal lower body workout with an emphasis on the hip muscles.

For many women weight training is an afterthought, something they might play around with after they're done with their aerobics class if there's time, or after toning and shaping on the stairmaster or treadmill.

Not Patty.

She understands the value of weight training for weight loss and fat burning by permanently raising the resting metabolic rate via increasing lean body mass.

And she knows what High Intensity Training means, and how to put in a maximum effort.

A credit to the Nation, to be sure.

This workout features a nice double pre-exhaustion sequence--starting with the Med-X sidelying hip extension machine (you probably haven't seen this before), then isolating the lateral hip muscles with the hip abduction machine, then finishing everything off with one set to failure on the Med-X leg press.

Keep in mind that if you're going to target a certain body part in a workout with extra exercises, it is wise to decrease the amount of exercises you do for the rest of your body, in order to keep your total workout volume low enough that you will still be able to adequately recover in a timely fashion. You only have one gas tank; if you make one part of your workout longer, you need to make the rest shorter-otherwise you risk overtraining, and your efforts will be wasted because you won't build muscle.

The rest of Patty's workout that day consisted of 1 set of chest press, 1 set of seated rows, and 1 set on the old-school pink Nautilus ab machine. That's it.

@Evilcyber: First of all, I don't "let" Patty do anything. Patty is a grown woman who has many years of training experience; she trains however she wants.

Second of all, she does not train exclusively with machines, that just happens to be what she used in this workout. However, she wanted me to tell you that she prefers machines due to the many advantages they offer over free weights, such as rotary movement, direct resistance, automatically variable resistance, and balanced resistance.

Good that you mention spot reduction not being possible - that myth apparently will never die!

However, I have one question: Why do you let Patty work out exclusively with machines?

Thank you for posting this video. I have wanted to see the MedX Hip Extension machine in action for a long time.
