Default Re: Need Tips - Workout Advice for a Girl

im def not as qualified as other posters in this thread but, if you're just looking to improve your overall body, i'd recommend mainly running combined with some pushups/ planks/ squat type exercises.

This might just be me personally, but i think most girls who run have nice bodies. When taken to the extreme/ or when they dont eat well then yea, they get frail and look weak and ultimately unattractive. But most of the girls i know who ran and ate well had really nice athletic figures.

i've been away from university and my regular routine, and the past week i've been doing a workout without weights. i've been running on a 400m track, doing a set of pushups, a set of squat thrusts, a set of situps and then a set of bench steps. I repeat this 3x (with as few and as short breaks inbetween as possible) and then cool down by walking around the track, stretching and then doing planks.

I'd recommend trying this, or just running in general and seeing if you like it/ enjoyed the workout before going out and buying equipment.
