When it comes to women workout programs it turns out to be a more disappointing and frustrating task than searching men’s programs.
Most of the time you come across what looks like men-focused workout plans with an emphasis on muscle building that have been somehow adapted to a female public.
That is because there is a general assumption that basic physiology is the same for men and women, therefore what works for men must also work for women, to some degree.
This is certainly true to some extent, and women seeking a muscular, muscle building protocol do end up with plans similar to men’s plans, though not exactly the same.
However, most of the time women dislike a workout regimen too focused on strength and muscularity and tend to steer towards other fitness goals like easy bodyweight plans, yoga, Pilates, cardio routines and so on.
Not to mention that busy moms at home with kids have no time for a gym and are rather happy to settle for home workouts that require little or no equipment.
Women also have peculiar needs that differentiate them from men, specific target areas they are most self-conscious about, like thighs, belly and booty.
That means a workout program that does not elicit just muscle tone but also some implicit degree of fat loss.
Below, a selection of some of the most popular women workout programs out there as well as some niche programs for specific target areas like booties, or unique skills like pull up strength, just for women.
