Top Heavy Training for Women > Maggie Greenwood Robinson Ph.D.
If you’re a bit on the top heavy side — slender legs and hips, coupled with an amply endowed upper body — you can easily reshape your proportions. All

you have to do is tighten your upper body trouble spots and recontour your lower body so that it’s a little curvier. Achieving both goals will reshift your proportions so that you’re less top-loaded.
You can do it with the right exercise methods and fat-burning aerobics. In addition to appearance, the ability to accomplish such dayto- day tasks is another benefit of having a strong, well-developed upper body. But there are many others. If you participate in a sport, for example, you have the stamina and power to throw farther, swing harder, hit more powerfully. Upper body strength even helps if you’re a runner.

The faster you can move your arms, the faster you can run. A strong upper body protects you against potential athletic injuries, particularly in your shoulders and back. Even every day aches and pains, such as low back problems, caused by muscular weakness, can be alleviated by getting stronger.
Your best bet for training is a four-day split routine. You concentrate on upper body toning on Monday and Thursday; lower body building on Tuesday and Friday. Try to do your aerobics on those four days as well and include a fifth aerobic workout on Saturday for additional fat burning.
