how does she know the workout was effective. lol?

 

[tocrwn]

well, post workout soreness might be a sign of a successful workout, but not getting soreness definitely doesn't mean that it was not effective. I assume you know it.

 

[Care4Gainz]

actually true

 

[DoM]

how does she know the workout was effective. lol?

she doesn't. women workouts are different than men's, of course. so she simply works out and I guess hopes for the best.
but yes... i've also heard that not being sore doesn't mean the workout wasn't effective. I just want to feel it to actually know it's effective. lol

 

[Care4Gainz]

i might be wrong but it seems like women are not as sore as men simply because they are not working out with heavy ass weights as they usually don't aim to gain muscle

 

[DoM]

maybe. i am never sore whenever i have cardio-type of exercises with light weights (HIIT)

 

[ChuckKnock]

cardio = lifting weights faster

 

[DoM]

cardio = lifting weights faster

yeah, but still some cardio is important. at least for health purposes.

its true, but lets agree - we all hate it, lol

with exceptions. I do actually enjoy the HIIT which is somewhat I find in between cardio and weight training.

almost a month apart, but I just finished my HIIT too.

Hope it's not the only HIIT workout this month. LOL.
I generally tend to have at least one a week.
