“I don’t want to be bulky” “I want to lose weight not gain muscle” “I really just want abs”
We have heard all these reasons to skip heavier weights day in and day out. If you want to burn more calories, have a stronger core, and increase your cardiovascular health then weight training IS for you!!
Help bone strength
After the age of 30 women and men both begin to lose bone mass and 1 in 3 women will have an osteoporotic fracture in their life! Strength training can help trigger bones to make more cells and therefore creates stronger bones. Help your body stay strong on the inside and out!
Burn more calories
Strength training can help your body continuously burn calories! After a good strength workout your metabolism will stay elevated for up to THREE days!! This is a benefit that belongs ONLY to strength training, so while cardio burns more calories during the 20 minutes, strength training can continue to burn calories at an increased rate for a few days!
Improve Sleep
Trouble falling and staying asleep? Strength training can help your ability to fall asleep. A recent study showed less time awake and deeper sleep in participants who followed a strength training routine. Even more reason to grab that higher weight!
Manage Blood Sugar
When you grow more muscles you increase your muscle cells. These cells help your body absorb and use glucose (sugar) and can help maintain stable blood sugar levels!
Boost Confidence
Building muscle helps you stand taller and feel better! Strength training is a great way to build self esteem and boost your confidence!
