Reach way down and back up. 00:14:34.00\00:14:44.12 The old adage about building large bulky muscles is 00:14:44.17\00:14:47.38 very difficult to do; Women... 00:14:47.43\00:14:49.95 ...Their hormonal balance is different than a man's. 00:14:50.00\00:14:53.28 Men have lots of testosterone, 00:14:53.33\00:14:54.58 women do have some testosterone but it's not as much as a man. 00:14:54.63\00:14:57.85 Men have some estrogen but not as much as a woman. 00:14:57.90\00:15:01.05 In fact, as men and women get older 00:15:01.10\00:15:03.18 they come a little closer together because 00:15:03.23\00:15:05.15 men start producing more estrogen 00:15:05.20\00:15:06.17 and women start producing more testosterone! 00:15:06.18\00:15:09.25 But the hormones make it so women tend not to get as big 00:15:09.30\00:15:11.65 and also women are a little bit smaller naturally, than men. 00:15:11.70\00:15:17.35 As you can tell, both of our ladies are a little bit 00:15:17.40\00:15:19.42 smaller structure than I am so that means I would 00:15:19.47\00:15:21.75 have a little better chance of developing muscle than they do. 00:15:21.80\00:15:25.08 Okay let's do five more. 00:15:27.73\00:15:33.22 And two more... 00:15:33.27\00:15:36.98 Looking good! 00:15:37.03\00:15:38.35 Alright; feel that bicep at all? 00:15:38.40\00:15:40.62 All pumped up there? 00:15:40.67\00:15:41.95 Let's pump the other side! 00:15:42.00\00:15:46.45 Remember building muscle is not an easy thing to do. 00:15:46.50\00:15:49.75 In fact, I often challenge people 00:15:49.80\00:15:50.77 (make sure you get all the way down there, there you go) 00:15:50.78\00:15:53.28 I challenge people and especially women... 00:15:53.33\00:15:54.92 get as strong as you can because 00:15:54.97\00:15:56.82 it will help you in the long run! 00:15:56.87\00:15:59.32 Especially for things like osteoporosis 00:15:59.37\00:16:01.35 and arthritis 00:16:01.40\00:16:02.37 and all that other rotten stuff that happens to us 00:16:02.38\00:16:04.92 when we get older. 00:16:04.97\00:16:05.94 Remember somebody asked Jack Olane one time, 00:16:05.95\00:16:06.98 who was about 85 or 86 now and they said; 00:16:07.03\00:16:09.48 "Do you think you've added any years to your life?" 00:16:09.53\00:16:12.25 And he goes, "I don't know but I sure added life to my years" 00:16:12.30\00:16:15.78 And that's very important because if we ask 00:16:15.83\00:16:18.45 somebody how long would they like to live 00:16:18.50\00:16:20.35 I'm sure somebody would say 85 or 90 somewhere around there! 00:16:20.40\00:16:23.55 But how long would they want to be healthy? 00:16:23.60\00:16:26.32 That's the big key! 00:16:26.37\00:16:28.55 Lets do five more. 00:16:28.60\00:16:34.58 Two more. 00:16:34.63\00:16:37.85 Good! 00:16:37.90\00:16:39.65 Okay, now we're gonna work on an area 00:16:39.70\00:16:40.82 that's very sensitive to women. 00:16:40.87\00:16:43.25 That's the Grandma wave bye-bye fat right back here! 00:16:43.30\00:16:46.18 That keeps waving after you're done! 00:16:46.23\00:16:48.02 Now none of you have that problem 00:16:48.07\00:16:50.65 and that's okay. 00:16:50.70\00:16:51.67 But we're still gonna work that area to make sure 00:16:51.68\00:16:52.92 that doesn't happen because as we add strength 00:16:52.97\00:16:54.65 to the area we can't magically make fat go away! 00:16:54.70\00:16:56.02 Fat and muscle are not 2 different things. Excuse me! 00:16:56.07\00:16:59.25 THEY ARE TWO different things! 00:16:59.30\00:17:01.15 They're not interchangeable. 00:17:01.20\00:17:02.22 You can't take... You know somebody can say; 00:17:02.27\00:17:03.82 "I have all this flab back here I wanna firm this up." 00:17:03.87\00:17:06.28 We can't firm fat up! 00:17:06.33\00:17:07.98 It has to go away! But muscle, 00:17:08.03\00:17:09.35 if you stop working out 00:17:09.40\00:17:10.72 it's not just going to turn to fat either! 00:17:10.77\00:17:12.32 It's going to shrink down. 00:17:12.37\00:17:13.92 So, what we're going to do now is... 00:17:13.97\00:17:15.15 try to do some exercise that will help this area. 00:17:15.20\00:17:17.35 Maybe tighten it up a little bit 00:17:17.40\00:17:18.78 because if you have a given amount of fat there 00:17:18.83\00:17:20.32 and you add a little bit of strength there 00:17:20.37\00:17:22.05 it will firm that area up. 00:17:22.10\00:17:23.38 So, let's start to work on that now! 00:17:23.43\00:17:26.22 We're going to keep 00:17:26.27\00:17:27.24 the hand close to the other one again. 00:17:27.25\00:17:28.95 So you can pull down 00:17:29.00\00:17:30.12 and get yourself a good range of motion! 00:17:30.17\00:17:32.95 So, what we're trying to do here is 00:17:33.00\00:17:36.45 simply bend that arm down 00:17:36.50\00:17:37.47 and then go straight back up again! 00:17:37.48\00:17:38.98 Try and go all the way back up. 00:17:39.03\00:17:44.28 Way up! 00:17:44.33\00:17:47.05 This is the arm you're working hard. 00:17:47.10\00:17:52.22 Good! 00:17:52.27\00:17:53.32 Very good. 00:17:53.37\00:17:55.22 Excellent! 00:17:55.27\00:17:56.65 Feeling that in there? 00:17:56.70\00:17:58.25 Good!

So it'd be very difficult to 00:19:08.27\00:19:11.55 put on lots of large muscle. 00:19:11.60\00:19:13.68 You would have even more trouble still 00:19:13.73\00:19:15.72 because you're very small! 00:19:15.77\00:19:17.05 It would take a lot of work! 00:19:17.10\00:19:18.07 And also I find that women when they do lift weights 00:19:18.08\00:19:20.08 they may gain some weight because muscle is more dense. 00:19:20.13\00:19:23.88 Fat or a pound of fat is 2 times 00:19:23.93\00:19:25.95 the size of a pound of muscle! 00:19:26.00\00:19:26.98 What they find is that they may gain 20 pounds... 00:19:27.03\00:19:29.05 ...But they lose two dress sizes! 00:19:29.10\00:19:31.02 We wouldn't want to do that to you 00:19:31.07\00:19:32.38 because we don't have size zero. 00:19:32.43\00:19:33.98 So, we won't worry about it, okay. 00:19:34.03\00:19:36.52 Now we're gonna do some leg work. 00:19:36.57\00:19:37.98 Women are very often interested in working the lower part of 00:19:38.03\00:19:41.18 their body and often times women will come to me 00:19:41.23\00:19:42.45 and they say, "I want to get in an exercise program." 00:19:42.50\00:19:45.88 I say; "What do you want to work?" 00:19:45.93\00:19:47.08 and then I say don't tell me, let me guess... 00:19:47.13\00:19:48.32 "you wanna work from here to here" 00:19:48.37\00:19:49.98 and they go, "yeah how did you know?" 00:19:50.03\00:19:51.18 Well 90% of the female population is thinking that way! 00:19:51.23\00:19:54.45 So we're gonna work on the hips and thighs now. 00:19:54.50\00:19:57.32 We're gonna do that by doing some squatting motion 00:19:57.37\00:20:00.32 in various positions. 00:20:00.37\00:20:01.58 So, what we're gonna do is 00:20:01.63\00:20:02.60 We're gonna put our legs very wide at first. 00:20:02.63\00:20:05.32 Wider than a normal squatting position. 00:20:05.37\00:20:07.25 We're gonna have our toes turned out slightly. 00:20:07.30\00:20:09.75 Whenever we squat, 00:20:09.80\00:20:11.02 we don't want to shoot our knees over our feet. 00:20:11.07\00:20:13.08 That's not what we want to do! 00:20:13.13\00:20:14.38 We want to push our hips back.
