Lifting Weights

Weight-lifting brings tangible results and is hugely satisfying. There are so many important reasons you should add strength training to your week. Here are just a few. 

Many people think slogging it out on a cardio machine or pounding the pavements are the keys to fat loss, but it won’t build muscle, why is that important!? Keep reading... 

By adding weight training to your week you build lean muscle, and muscle is a metabolically active tissue where carbohydrates and body fat are burned and used as energy. The more muscle you have, the higher your basal metabolic rate, so the more calories you’ll burn over the course of a day.

Weight training also has a positive impact on bone density, weight training not only strengthens muscles but also increases bone density. This reduces the risk of fractures and broken bones. It also builds stronger connective tissues and increases joint stability which, as a result, helps prevent injury, and therefore decreases the chances of women and men developing osteoporosis later on in life.

Every time your workout with weights, you become stronger, and so next time you’ll be able to lift more, which is both incredibly satisfying and motivating. Unlike fat loss, which takes a lot of time and patience, strength in the gym can increase on a week-by-week basis, Especially in the first five to six months of training.

Everyone wants to look toned and sculpted, and weight training is the way to achieve this. Not pounding the pavement-  however, it’ll also improve your abilities in other sports. Unlike men, women typically don’t gain size from strength training. This is due to levels of testosterone women have compared to men. Because of this, women will develop muscle tone and definition without the size.

Having a solid strength base helps improve many other elements of athleticism, including power, speed, agility, endurance, and muscle mass gains. Strength training will help the body adapt to the forces it will face during sport and through everyday life.
