Speed dating or online matchmaking-these may be the latest romantic trends, but the artistry of love is ancient and the desire for beauty is something altogether primitive. Searching for a mate or attempting to seduce a partner was once the work of potions and charms, animal sacrifices and amulets. While many of the old rituals may seem wildly out of step for contemporary women, there are many ancient practices that may very well initiate attraction and captivate a partner today. Asses’ milk is not a hot commodity in the present era, but once upon the time it was an elixir by which to preserve youth and beauty. Cleopatra is believed to have placed great store in asses’ milk and was known to bathe in it not only for beauty’s sake, but because it seemed to have aphrodisiac properties. Doctors of antiquity such as Hippocrates prescribed asses’ milk to treat poisonings,…

Quite a number of marriage relationships become sexually stale with time and need external stimulation. This is not necessarily because of lack of love for one another. It is more because of the pressures of life that a woman has to deal with- work, children, church or volunteer work, extended family. It is difficult to juggle all these and still be sexually alert. She does not pay much attention to herself or her surroundings. However, every wife must always remember that she creates the atmosphere in the home. It is even more so, for the sexual environment that the relationship with her husband can thrive in. What are the things a woman can do to create this environment? REVAMP HER PHYSICAL SURROUNDING The appearance of the home is so important to a good sex life. An untidy home is very uninviting and can be bad for good sex. Taking it…

Muscles – at first mention, don’t really seem like something women want. The word is generally more associated with images of incredibly buffed-up, glistening male bodybuilders or actors like the young Arnold Schwarzenegger in the early Terminator movies. Muscle building for women is either frowned upon by females, with chagrin at the concept of being deemed “muscular.” Shooting Down Misconceptions Contrary to popular false impressions, muscle building for women can actually define the body, making it more feminine: the shoulders become more symmetrical, the legs and arms get shapely, the butt and best of all it tigthens the stomach. If you’re a woman and you want to build or sculpt your body, you really don’t have to worry about suddenly looking like those females who look close to becoming stand-ins for male wrestlers. Women have significantly lower testosterone levels compared to men – 200-1200 ng/dl (men) and 15-70 ng/dl (women).…

Fibroids are mild tumors that develop inside a woman’s uterus. However, they are not cancerous. They occur most commonly among women during their reproductive age.

All fitness centers are a place for many types of gym goers, this does not include bodybuilding gyms and women’s only fitness centers. All fitness centers provide personal training. There has always been some separation with male and female personal trainers. The big question here is why males and females avoid personal training with the opposite sex? From a female personal trainer perspective, I see this male and female personal trainer avoidance quite often. First, most personal trainers are willing to work with anyone and everyone. Some may prefer older adults, men, women, children, or just athletes. In my own personal experience some older women tend to avoid male personal trainers because they feel as though they are only into body building which reduces the chances of training with a male trainer. Some women think male trainers are the “Arrogant” type. A good majority of women only want to train…

The general public often attaches women’s bodybuilding to a certain stigma. They mock the idea of highly muscular women, and very often these women will perpetuate the image by doing commercials or acting in stereotypical ways. The topic of “manly women” is an interesting one, and a few questions continually pop up. Let’s delve into them. What is Virilization? Virilization occurs when women develop masculine characteristics due to taking anabolic steroids. What are the signs of virilization? Commonly known in the various stereotypes, the side effects of steroids in women vary. Some consistent signs include a deeper voice, excessive body hair growth, baldness (similar to male pattern baldness), acne, and enlargement of the clitoris. Some women who use in extreme amounts develop a squaring of the jaw. Are these side effects reversible? While the acne that occurs with steroid use may subside in women, the other side effects do not…

Young or old, there’s no limit to what the modern woman can do when she sets her mind to it – whether it’s getting to the top in her profession of choice or undergoing women bodybuilders diet plans. Women nowadays are much more enlightened on the idea of self-betterment and a holistic personal development, which is why more and more females seem to be entering training programs aimed at building their bodies into leaner, fitter examples of the healthy, urban female. Why the Need for a Diet? In order for any woman to successfully build muscle mass, you have to understand that it takes a combination of a healthy women bodybuilders diet and training sessions. You can’t expect to suddenly get sculpted abs and well-defined arms and legs by exercising alone, or simply eating right. Women have much less testosterone than men, the hormone that builds muscles, which is why…
