Being a girl in the gym can be so intimidating for some, I know all you see on instagram is girls and guys with incredible physique’s but they all started from somewhere. I remember my first time In the gym I was petrified, had no idea what I was doing and me and my friend still laugh now about how I struggled to shoulder press a 2kg dumbbell!! The main aspect of training which I am sure anyone who trains will agree is consistency and dedication.
Once you get into the swing of things, believe it or not its hard to get out of it!
I feel like I hit a plateau in my training lately and I soon realised I really wasn’t pushing myself hard enough in order to grow. I decided I want to put on size, so I started strength training which consists of doing 5 sets of 5 reps on a heavy weight and focus on doing 4-5 compound exercises in a session. I also UPPED my carbs to over 200g a day and at the moment I am feeling stronger than ever and I am the biggest I have ever been(in a good way!) I'm so happy with my progress!
For everyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE to eat! I am a massive foodie and a little fat kid at heart, with upping my carbs and figuring out my macros (daily carb,protein and fat intake) I have had to up my cardio to 20 minutes a day..which really isn't fun :( but I find dog walking is a good form of cardio! its important to let your body get used to the extra calories. My main piece of advice to any girl looking to put on muscle and grow a booty is don't be afraid to eat!!
I have listed below a typical days food for me, I am not that anal about weighing and tracking all my macros to absolute precision.. but it is good to check food packets and weigh food if your unsure of the content so that you have a good idea of what you are eating.I hope this helps! Remember that a persons height and weight is taken in to consideration when figuring out macros so this is different for everyone.
