The Girevik Bear for Women.

Upon first glance much of the Girevik Bear programming seems to be directed towards male athletes. What with brutally long and difficult workouts, and a no nonsense attitude I can see how one could draw this conclusion. This couldn't be further from the truth! Interestingly a large percentage of the interest we have seen in our programming has been from women. We have also observed that women are more diligent and often more determined than their male counterparts. Obviously there are plenty of slackers from both genders, but we have seen some impressive athleticism displayed by female Bears. It is my belief that our style of training is perfect for women of all fitness levels. Our fitness concept revolves around building strong, dense muscle and burning a ton of fat. We hate bulky, swollen useless muscles that are built in front of a mirror in big box metrosexual gyms across the country. We are about performance, speed, and endurance. Which is exactly what most female athletes are looking for. They want to burn fat and build trim, sexy muscles. We will discuss just how the type of training we teach will deliver the results our comrade ladies are looking for. How the movements build long, lean, dense muscle and won't bulk you up. No matter how hard or often you train. How our methodology will zap your fat, and have you feeling more energetic than you ever have. Not to mention the wonderful effects a truly effective diet and exercise routine can have on your day to day life, and how you look and feel.

One of the most common things I hear from women when I present the idea of a high intensity training program, one that requires you to lift heavy weight and do movements like pull ups and ring dips, is "I don't want to get bulky." Women get pictures of roided out bodybuilder women when they think heavy lifting. This is a grand misconception! The female body simply cannot reach that level of muscle mass without specific isolation training and/or performance enhancing drugs. Our method of training cannot build a body like that simply because we follow a very natural diet, and the types of movements we utilize. The Primal Diet specifically is a great dietary plan to follow, and it's the one we universally recommend. For more info on the Primal Diet visit Mark Sisson's site Mark's Daily Apple and pick up your copy of The Primal Blueprint. This is the bible on Primal eating and living, a must have for any dedicated Bear. Following a natural diet like this will allow your genes and hormones to really represent themselves without being disrupted by nutrient imbalances and toxins. With your body working exactly as it should internally, a woman simply cannot produce the testosterone needed to build much bulk. You can become very strong however, and with the Girevik Bear's favored movements you will perfectly compliment your natural female design with long, lean, sexy muscles. The core movements of kettlebell training burn fat and build muscle in all the right areas for a woman. The thighs, the butt, the back, and the core. Most of your unwanted fat resides in those areas right? So lets burn it off and expose the beautiful figure that lies just beneath it!

Another wonderful benefit of lifting heavy weight for women is that lifting heavy weight increases bone density as you get stronger. This along with a healthy primal diet can eliminate any concerns of osteoporosis for comrade ladies. A clean healthy diet like the primaldiet will also help you avoid many types of cancer, as well as heart disease and many other common chronic illnesses for years to come. Wouldn't it be nice to be around to see your grandchildren grow up? It would be ideal to be able to keep up with them too, right? I want to be there for that and so should you! Mark Sisson's blog is a vast resource on the various health benefits a clean, healthy diet can have in addition to a high intensity training regimen. Visit his blog for the nitty gritty dietary details, he's the doctor, not me.

My final point on Bear Fitness for women is the relevance of the movements we teach in your everyday life. From a busy professional to a stay at home mom, being a strong, fit woman has vast benefits. Imagine possessing sprinting and agility skills that will allow you to keep up with any child determined to evade you. Fly up flights of stairs at the office effortlessly and catch your breath in seconds upon reaching the top. Laundry baskets and groceries suddenly get alot lighter, as do children. Mowing the lawn, looking good in your best interview power suit, turning heads at the beach or swimming pool. The list goes on and on. All I really have left to ask for any comrade lady thinking of giving Bear Fitness a shot is, How can you afford not to? Just as it works for men to build confidence and a great body, it also works for women. We want to give everyone the opportunity to live their lives to the fullest, and look and feel their best. Join us comrade ladies! On the path to Mighty Sexy Bear Strength!
