    How can I help my mom

    Hi, so first I'm a 16 years old french guy, i'm lifting at home (i have a squat rack and decent stuff, but w/e).
    My mom used to be a professionnal dancer for 20 years, she's almost 50 now and didn't exercise since a while.
    She's definitely not fat, but she's some fat to loose, so she asked me to help her lose all that fat.
    I told her that she had to eat low calories, do cardio and lift. But when it comes to lifting she says "no I know my body i'm gonna get big quads and huge arms, i'm gonna look like those big guys" and some bull****, i spent an hour trying to tell her she was wrong but she didnt wanna understand so. I'm asking to you ladies (or guys who knows) what i could tell her. I've already looked for a routine, but it seems like girls train the same way as most guys do, but i don't really know.

    So if you could give me some advices i'd really appreciate, thanks for reading and soz for the bad english

    Have her read this article: http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpt...tiple-benefits

    ...it briefly explains the changes in body composition as we age. If she were to begin lifting, she'd be working on regaining the lean mass she's lost over the decades which will make it easier for her to regain a lean appearance. The combination of not challenging her body with resistance training and too much calorie restriction is going to make matters worse in the long run as it can contribute to more rapid lean mass loss and make it difficult to maintain any positive results she'll have in the short-term (loss in scale weight/clothes fitting better).

    explique lui qu'elle n'a pas besoin de faire beaucoup de musculation... Elle peut faire des poids moins lourds, mais avec plus de répétitions, ce qui va travailler son endurance. Aussi, juste le fait qu'elle bouge un peu et fasse de l'exercice (même si ce n'est pas de haute intensité) va l'aider à se remettre en forme sans qu'elle devienne une femme musclée. Ça prend plusieurs années avant de développer une grande masse musculaire et en plus, puisqu'elle est une femme, elle a un moins haut niveau de testostérone. De ce fait, elle ne risque pas de devenir extrêmement musclée

    Comme Emi a dis, c'est un peu difficile de changer la mentalité d'une femme de 50 ans (j'en ai 48 mais j'ai commencé le sport quand j'étais ados)

    Tu peut toujours encourager l'exercice en général. Cours de gym peut-être, ou yoga, poids léger pour commencer et elle verra qu'elle ne se transforme pas en monstre musculaire géant!

    Me mère est pareille. C'est très difficile de changer les préjugés, mais petit à petit c'est possible.

    Pour l'excès de gras, et bien on coupe les portions et diminue les sucreries, c'est tout! Bonne chance

    Give her healthy food... Don't let her do too much physical activities, as at this age the bones of the women get week. She can opt for Yoga. The best and effective one.
    Happy!!!

    Terrible advice.

    Weight lifting is exactly what will help to keep her bones STRONG.
