Hi! So my wife wants to start working out, but she has no clue how to start. I'm working out for a year already and I've lost some weight.
She would like to do the same, but I wonder if workout for women should differ from the one for men? Also how is it with diet?
I have no clue about female bodybuilding, that's why I decided to ask here. She's pretty motivated, after she saw changes to my body, she would like to lose weight and be prettier as well.
Thank you for any help!

Hi! So, basically the workout for men and for women doesn't really differ that much. The only difference is weight you use.
You should remember to not overtrain her at the beginning. Let her start slowly and let build some stamina, before you introduce her to heavier workouts.
There is plenty of those, that are perfect for beginning women, just pick some for her or better yet - let her pick some
As for diet - depending on what she eats now, don't make any sudden changes to her eating habits. Beginners don't really require much to start progressing.
If she eats unhealthy, just make a diet for her, which will be healthy, calculate her calories from TDEE calculator and cut like -10% from it.
Then slowly add some cardio etc. As you have already successfully lost weight before, you must know what I'm talking about.
You should guide her the same way as you did guide yourself.

Thanks a lot! That's basically all I needed to know. I thought women are working out in a bit different way than men, but if there are no really big differences, I will just use the approach that has worked for me

Hey, exactly! Workout for both women and men is basically the same. You just have to remember, that for women muscles grow much slower than it is in case of men, so she can't expect to progress as much as you did of course, but in terms of losing weight everything that MomLovesIron wrote will work
