PAGE 8 - WATERLOO CHROMCLE. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 27. IMS Bodybuilding is an activity which has gained credibility over the past five to 10 years. Certainly serious athletes have been working with Weights for years and years, building their bodies to the ultimate strength and form. Sensible and progressive weight training is an excellent form of exercise for anyone though, whether you want to do it moderately or strive to competitive levels. This especially includes women. Women are equal to men in weight rooms now. Their strength potential has been realized, and female bodybuilding competi- tions are held world-wide. Women who wish to become professional bodybuilders do have certain natural disadvantages before even entering the weight room. Women ordinarily carry more body fat than men; about 22-25% of total body weight, compared to 15-18% for the average man. This heavier layer of fat tends to hide muscularity. This is clearly a disadvantage then, for the women who want well-defined muscles. To achieve their goal, these women must work exceptionally hard and be dedicat- ed to overcome the fat. Another factor which makes it truly difficult for women to develop large muscles is the male hormone, testos- terone. A woman's body ordinarily produces about 10% of the amount men produce. Because this hormone plays an important role in the development of muscle size and strength, a woman's chances of becoming the incredible hulk are greatly limited. Bodybuilding is an activity which involves the use of barbells. dumbells. and various pulleys and weights. It's goal is ideal physical development, or developing the body's shape and proportions to a level the individual FEBRUARY COUPON RECEIPT Fri., Mar. " tt pun.

It may involve building up certain body parts, as the name implies, or firming and slimming other body It's one exercise activity which can be controlled by the individual. through selection of exercises and training methods used. An individual can shape his or her own body along the lines they desire. It can be interesting and exciting to body-sculpt. Because bodybuilding can be controlled, women need not fear becoming bulky. Not everyone who picks up a pair of dumbells or exercises on either a Nautilus or Universal weight machine will become muscle bound. Although genetics and natural body type will determine how much can be achieved. results will mainly be determined by how much effort is put into the training. Not only do women need to work hard to become competitive, so do men. But if this is not your particular goal, working on weights need not be difficult. Unfortunately many women seem to think that weight training or bodybuilding means struggling with heavy weights. Not so. One of the advantages of weight training is that it permits the individu- al to use weights suitable to their own strength level. Even the use of what may seem as light weights to many, has its benefits, and will produce good muscle toning, firming and shaping. _ Using weights is not just for the benefits of bodybuilding. All sports can benefit from weight training. Any athlete will see a marked difference in playing a sport if weight training is used as pre-game conditioning. Even if you are not an athlete, weight training will help in other activities such as snow shovelling. working in the garden, moving furniture. DUAL 69515 WARE.
