Most women fail to see results because of lack of intensity in their workouts. So I'm going to show you how to tweak your intensity in order to maximize fat loss!
Workout Routine: ways to change intensity
• Changing load (weight)
• Increasing/decreasing time under tension (how slow or fast a movement is performed)
• Increasing/decreasing rest interval
• Changing # sets
• Changing # repetitions
How to maximize weight loss in your workout routines:
• If you are a beginner, you probably will lack the tolerance to lactic acid (the burn) and may require longer rest periods. But most likely, you will not be able to lift heavy loads so keep the rest periods short.
• If you are a cardio freak (you know who you are), slow it down, when weight-lifting you will need more rest during sets to recover and be able to hit it hard.
• Bottom line: The lower the reps, the longer the rest period, and vice versa. The higher the reps, theshorter the rest is needed.

Women Workout Routine Essenials for Rest interval:
• For general fitness, strength, stability, and small amount of hypertrophy (muscle growth)……TONE: 0-30 seconds.
• For strength and hypertrophy (muscle growth)…….TONE: 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
• For maximal hypertrophy (muscle growth): 2-3 minutes
• For maximal strength and power: more than 3 minutes (and this is most likely not you). So you will probably not rest for 3 minutes unless you are SLACKING!
More Workout Routine Essentials:
• Change workout program every 3-4 weeks.
• Start with high reps and little rest & work up to lower reps with more rest.
Most likely you want to get lean, toned, and sexy. If this is the case try performing 2-3 exercises in a rowfollowed by 30-60 seconds rest.
To step it up even more, instead of just sitting around for 30-60 seconds, perform a core movement for the duration of the rest. Now were talking INTENSITY!
