Benefits of Weight Training

Some women tend to shy away from weight training in fear of looking too masculine, resulting in too much cardio and feeling negative toward their health goals and appearance. Weight lifting improves your overall fitness, strengthens your bones, prevents injuries and makes your heart healthier. By incorporating weights into your fitness routine you will build lean muscle and get the toning you’re looking for. 

Lifting weights builds grows muscles and muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue, thereby boosting your metabolism. In other words, you get more opportunity to fuel your body with nutritious foods! 

Lifting weights strengthens your joints and muscles and will help in longevity to reduce risk of injury or health concerns. Muscles form the foundation of all movement, balance and coordination through your body. 

I leave you with a statistic : A 2018 study in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that lifting weights for as little as less than an hour a week may reduce the risk for a heart attack or stroke by 40% to 70%.
