 It's easy to think that the age and the sex have only very little importance in practice of
weight training to the pretext of knowing to proportion weights very precisely, duration of warm up, courses ...
In fact it's all the opposite, it's necessary to adapt workout exercises
according to physical capacities and personal situations (sex, age, capacities, antecedents).
Children can't be regarded as an adult; woman doesn't have the same aspirations that man, anatomical differences are obvious.
Often, certain women adopt a negative attitude with respect to the workout by fear of resembling to a
man. Fortunately this negative reaction tends to decrease under effect of fashionable, medias, sporting female elites.
It should be specified that a man who is very muscular will have spent many hours, of many months and years of
assiduous efforts. Therefore to be very muscular we needs many efforts on long term.

Weight trainer of abs and muscles of the vertebral column will be beneficial.
Muscular masses of the women couldn't be developed as much as at the
men because of anabolic capacity of the estrogens. Distribution of the fatty mass is also different
(thigh, pelvis ... )
