Body sculpting is not 'body-building'. It is not 'power-lifting'. It is not 'weight-lifting'.
Body sculpting is the simple art of blending certain principles of exercise, fitness and wise nutrition to bring about desired changes in the female (or male) body. Too often the term is confused with other types of workout programs that are not conducive to shaping and toning a woman's body in a safe and efficient manner.
There are many elements of body sculpting, although not all elements apply to all women. Fat reduction, cellulite removal, skin tightening, muscle shaping, inches lost, changes in body composition or body fat levels, building curvy thighs or a rounder butt, toning up the arms and shoulders, losing stomach flab - these can all fall under the heading of body sculpting.
Two women with very different challenges can follow the same type of exercise program while adhering to nutritional guidelines that are structured to be in line with their goals, and dependent on their starting points, with measurable and consistent success.
A woman who is 84 pounds over weight and seeking to lose body fat has the same 'body' (a human body) as a woman who is a little under weight and wants to gain some muscle weight while improving overall fitness. Although there may be differences in natural abilities of coordination or strength they can both do the same exercises. Differences in caloric intake (and quality of foods eaten) will be the factor that brings each of these women closer to their different body sculpting goals.
Aerobic exercise may be slightly different. The woman who wants to lose body fat will devote a larger amount of time to cardiovascular exercise (25 - 40 minutes) as compared to the woman who wants to build up certain areas of her body (15 - 25 minutes). Some body sculpting programs try to incorporate the strengthening and toning with cardiovascular exercise. While this is not easy, and most programs fall short of doing this successfully, it is possible - especially when the program is centered on body-weight exercise principles.
A body-weight body sculpting program is not commonly found is the health club setting. You either have individual programs of weights and machines or group classes focused on aerobics with some light 'toning'. True body sculpting takes advantage of gravity, body-weight and simple bio-mechanics to bring about desired changes in the female body through total body conditioning and targeted muscle toning exercises.
When these elements are combined properly, a woman can realistically expect to see improvements within 2 - 4 weeks - especially when a moderate amount of attention is payed to nutritional intake.
