Why to strength train?

What is so magical about weightlifting?

STRENGTHENS BONES 
Weight lifting helps to keep the osteroposis away by making your bones stronger and denser. Walking simply isn't enough.
PREVENTS INJURIES 
When done with proper form, strength training also strengthens connective tissues which increases joint stability and helps to prevent injury.
HELPS WEIGHTLOSS 
With your lean muscle increase your resting metabolic rate increases as well. Muscles burn more calories at rest so the more muscles you have the more calories your body burns, minimizing the amount of calories available to deposit as fat. For every kilo of lean muscle you build your body will burn additional 25-50 calories approximately.
BOOSTS SELF-CONFIDENCE
Many studies have proven that women who strength train feel more confident about themselves and have more positive body image. This reduces the risk of depression and simply makes your life better and happier. Who doesn’t wanna feel great about themselves, right?
REDUCES THE RISK OF DIABETES 
Improves the way your body processes sugar and helps your beat the diabetes.
MAKES YOU PHYSICALLY STRONGER
When you are stronger the activities of daily living like lifting your kids, groceries or laundry are easier for you and the risk of injuries is reduced.
THE GOOD NIGHT SLEEP 
You are less likely to suffer from insomnia if you regularly strength train.
REDUCES THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE 
Lowers bad cholesterol, increases good cholesterol and lowers blood pressure.
So what do you say ladies? Is it worth the sweat? :)




Have a fit day!
