Isometric strength training frequency for women varies from woman to woman and depends on a number of factors which I’ll explore in this article. The first thing we must take into account when looking at Isometric strength training frequency for women, is the current health and fitness level of the women in question as well as their experience.

An inexperienced woman can in fact train more frequently than a well trained woman. This may strike you as backward but it makes a lot of sense. A woman with little or no fitness and training experience has less lean muscle to stimulate and as such can recover from isometric training a little faster.

A well developed woman on the other hand who has built lean compacted muscle requires more stimulation and a more intense workout. This creates a greater need to recover and so they need time more time off. As a guideline in strictly these terms I find that my female beginners can train 2-3 times a week, however my advanced female athletes only train every 6 weeks or so.

The next factor we must look at in determining Isometric strength training frequency for women is their goals. Different goals require different methods and as such different frequencies of training.

Here are a few general guidelines that you may want to know about isometric strength training frequency for women

1)- If you are just beginning a fitness routine, please check with your doctor and receive clearance to exercise – this is very important – while isometrics are safe for everyone, including those with high blood pressure (for more on that click here), it’s better to inform your doctor. The beauty of isometrics is that they are completely adaptable to your level of fitness and health.

2)- Ease into a fitness routine if you are just beginning. Don’t try to work everything at once. You’ll just end up sore and confused. Work on the basics for one particular section o the body and once you have that down, learn some new techniques for a different body part. This is how I organise my acclaimed Perfect Body course, I break it down over 7 weeks, ensuring you get full body coverage and are completely comfortable with the program.

3)- REST REST REST!!!!. Rest is not a luxury! It is a necessity. Isometrics are very intense exercises. This means you often need more recovery time than normal so that your body can adapt and change once you’ve stimulated it. Don’t rush into do another routine before you are fully recovered. Rushing doesn’t mean results faster – it means no results and injury.

4)- As you increase in strength and tone you need to increase the rest periods between training. This is the vital secret to success with isometrics. The better you get the less often you have to train. I’ve explained this above but it is so important to understand. Isometric strength training frequency for women MUST adapt to accommodate progress and growth. Otherwise you’re not givin yourself a chance to improve.
