The human body after 40 years, alas, not so flexible, less endurance, not so quickly adapts to new stresses and not quickly restored, as in his youth. But this is no reason to abandon Fitness Facilities. Just at this age should be approached to perform the exercises more carefully and responsibly, carefully listening to their feelings.

We can and can not change in your body?
You can not change the inherited "construction" of the body and the structure of the skeleton. But any woman on forces to create a beautiful piece of what got it from birth. How? Two ways: by burning excess fat and building muscle.

Body Weight
Before you venture to lose weight, think, so it really is you need. The notion that somehow you will experience a hard but short period of fasting, but then the rest of life can enjoy all sorts of fun stuff in the wrong. You will not succeed.
It is possible that life you have to constantly fight for the retention reached a low body weight. After all, the body also has its own "memory", and it will do its utmost to restore the state in which it is itself so perfectly well, and put off reserves, in case you ever decide to again "to infringe his rights."
This body is not important, what about that think designers and manufacturers of clothing. Incidentally, the fact that the stores often end up just "our size", says that to truly "skinny" is actually much less than "normal".
And since we've broached the subject of clothes, can not be said about another problem: the clothes are usually brought to us from countries where women are the other type. Slavic women are usually big-boned, especially in the lower part of the body that is not fully taken into account in the European tables of the ideal ratio of weight and size. As a result, we try to match the proportions calculated on the tiny French women or young Italians.
Often misleading and compiled by scientists recommend our optimal weight. Two people the same height and with the same weight, depending on the level of physical activity may have very different ratios of muscle and fat body mass. This one may be trained athlete, and another swim fat. Guess who will start the first health problems ...

First, what is the ideal body. As for the criteria you can bet! Of course, there are certain traits that like almost everything: a narrow waist, slim hips, elegant legs and supple breasts. You say: all this is given from birth. This is true, but only in part.
Leafing through magazines or staring at the TV screen, you've probably ever look at the actresses and athletes with "ideal" figures. "How they were fortunate with a figure!" - You might say. But no, the fact is that many of the current fitness - "stars" in the sport prompted frustration that come to them from nature. For example, Debbie Krak, Miss Fitness USA ", before the start of training was dimensionless thick! With the help of her husband, bodybuilder, she seriously took up "adjustment" itself, to lose weight to 59 kg and has become a "superstar".
Another case of the transfiguration of the "beautiful swan" - Jane Harry, "Miss Hawaiian Tropics". In his time with the growth of 168 cm, she weighed 83 kg. Once she was told that her "fashionable" person, and it could well become a model ... if it were not overweight. And Jane has decided to change: become a regular aerobics and athletic exercises, went on a strict diet. She threw more than 20 kg, and offers to appear in a model increased.
Someone might mistake: by Debbie and Jane - the ideal figure of birth. But in reality they are just "a girl with character." They are fanatical and a lot of practicing and eventually made themselves irresistible! And you can do the same with fitness training!
