This was an interesting article I read about how fitness experts are tending more toward totally different types of workouts for men and women, which vary based on the person’s sex, rather than totally relying on the typical workout factors like current weight, fitness level, and muscle mass at time of beginning a regimen, they will base the type of workout, length of sets and so forth, on a person’s sex.

This isn’t that far off from how it is now though.  Right now, men usually do vary the way they workout from women in the amount of weight they use in lifting and leg presses or other types of bench presses, and the key different that many men practice that is not usual for women is that they work on body parts.  So for example men will work on arms and lats one day and then the next they may work on their abs and quadriceps, while women can tend to bunch all their workout into one.

Women usually will combine cardio exercise with muscle fitness for all of their workouts, so they might start off with a half hour or so of cardio, and then move onto their legs doing presses or squats, then maybe work out their abs for a bit, and then their arms.  Men chop theirs up more, working and focusing on one body part at a time, because supposedly men’s muscles respond a little differently to muscle resistance. 

Also, levels of testosterone have a lot to do with the difference between men’s and women’s workouts, because testosterone allows men to lift a lot more weight at a time and bear that weight more evenly and effectively than a woman, so testosterone definitely plays a big part too in the differences between the sexe’s workouts.
