Workouts for women are very similar if not the same as workouts for men. Actually, the amount of weight lifted is the only real difference, as men being stronger tend to lift heavier weights than women. 

A woman’s exercise routine will vary depending on the purpose for which she is exercising.  She could be working out to lose weight, to improve fitness, or because she wants to compete as a female bodybuilder. 

Typically women work out in order to tone specific parts f their bodies such as the inner thighs, arms or belly, however, such spot reduction is not actually possible.  What this means is that you cannot reduce fat only in one particular area of your body – instead, your workouts will affect your entire body to varying degrees.  

And hence, women should forget about toning specific body parts and instead look to do workouts that benefit the whole body. 

Combining both strength/resistance training and cardio has proven to be the most effective way to workout for women, especially those who want to reduce body fat.  

Ideally, a woman should work out for around 30 minutes per day, at least three times per week.

The following must be a part of every workoutWorkouts should always include the following: 

- Short burst resistance training supersets 

- Cardio intervals 

Your entire body is granted a high-intensity workout through short burst resistance training.   It also serves a s a great warm up for your cardio. 

It is not necessary that resistance training must be done in a gym with weights, however, weights can offer added resistance when your strength levels increase.  

Working out at home is very possible, and you can start off using your own body weight for resistance. 

Exercises may include squats, lunges, pushups, crunches and even bench presses and bent over rows (if you have weights). 

Cardio intervals imply that you do cardio at different intensity levels.  You start off with a warm up, followed by varying bursts of high intensity and moderate intensity.  

A cardio interval workout can consist of the following: 

-         Warm up for 2 minutes

-         Exercise for 1 minute at high intensity

-         Exercise for 1 minute at moderate intensity

-         Repeat 6 times

-         Cool down for 3-5 minutes 

By combining these workouts you burn calories for longer durations and also increase your muscle growth, which in turn causes an increased metabolism.  More fats are burnt by your body when your metabolism is increased. 

It is important to note at this point that there is such a thing as exercising too much.  Though seeming to be rewarding initially, over exercise will beyond a point provide no results as your weight loss will plateau and your muscles begin to break down. 

Great results are bound to be seen if you are patient and committed to your workout plan that promotes muscle building and increased fat reduction.
