Answers:
if u want to be serious and enter competitions then your going to have to change your lifestyle!. u are going to have to have ur life revolve around fitness!. it sounds harder than it is so this is what u do!. wake up and do cardio for about 30-45 minutes before anything else u do(running or swimming works best)!. doing cardio right when u wake up burns 300% more fat than doing it at any other time!. now ur gonna want to try to eat 6 small meals spread throughout the day and drink 1-2 gallons of water per day-this will increase ur metabolism!. Make sure ur eating healthy(no fast food, no pop, no candy, ect)!. now im not sure whats best for women when it comes to lifting but it shouldnt be much different from what men do!. so going by that, u should lift one muscle group per day for example:
Monday-chest bench, flies, dumbell bench, incline, decline
tuesday-biceps curls, hammer curls, preacher curls, chin-ups
wednesday- legs squats, leg press, lunges, leg curls, extensions
thursday-shoulders,traps dumbell raises, military press, reverse flies, shrugs,
friday-triceps pushdowns!. dips, lying dumbell extensions
sat and sun-off
this schedule has worked for many many people but there are many more lifts than i just trew out there!. u shouldnt have to worry about getting too muscular if u just lift light weights and only lift for about 45 minutes!. u will need muscle if ur going to have a low body fat % though so just keep an eye on that!. just remember that your diet is the most important thing ur going to need to worry about cuz everything else isnt that hard!.
im really interested if u get serious about this so e-mail me if u need me to clear anything up!. i hope all this doesnt scare u away from trying to competeWww@Answer-Health@Com
