A little known fact is that women recover quicker from their training than men.
The same with weight training or any other type of training.
Women produce more of the chemical that provides the energy to allow your muscles to work better, faster than men do.
Women also will experience less muscle soreness in the day after your workout, women will feel the soreness quicker but the pain and soreness will last more in the man.
This is what I have found over the years, in my experience a lot of men have had to have more time and rest in between workouts, while many of the women keep on coming back for more and recover quicker.
Another technical issue that separates men versus women reaction to exercise is that women will have a little more inflammation than men from a tough workout.
Your body then has to repair the broken down muscle tissue to build lean muscle tissue, and this is a great reason for your body to speed up its metabolism because it has to work hard in recovery.
This means your body will eventually burn more calories just resting 24 hours a day. When people talking about raising your metabolism, this would be a very good example so you are likely to stay leaner without working so hard for it in the future.
This is why strength training is so important for all of us to do, it sets us up to leaner, harder and strengthens our bones too.
Once your body does repair inside, the chances are that the same workout will not cause the same level of soreness again, and your body will become to crave strength work as the results start coming in fast.
