Resistance Training

10 REASONS WOMEN SHOULD DO RESISTANCE TRAINING:

YOU WILL LOSE BODY FAT
Women who strength trains two to three times a week for two months will gain
 nearly two pounds of muscle and will lose 3.5 pounds of fat. As your lean muscle
 increases so does your resting metabolism, and you burn more calories all day long.


YOU WILL GAIN STRENGTH WITHOUT BULK
Women typically don't gain size from strength training. You will, however, develop
 muscle tone and definition.


YOU DECREASE YOUR RISK TO OSTEOPOROSIS
Weight training can increase spinal bone mineral density by 13% in six months.
 This, coupled with an adequate amount of dietary calcium, can be a women's
 best defense against osteoporosis.


YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR ATHLETIC PROFORMANCE
Golfers can significantly increase their driving power. Cyclists are able to continue
 for longer periods of time with less fatigue. Skiers improve technique and reduce
 injury. Whatever sport you play, strength training has been shown to improve overall
performance as well as decrease the risk of injury.


YOU WILL BE PHYSICALLY STRONGER
Research studies conclude that even moderate weight training can increase a
woman's strength by 30 to 50 percent.


YOU WILL REDUCE YOUR RISK OF INJURY, BACK PAIN & ARTHRITIS
Strength training not only builds stronger muscles, but also builds stronger connective
 tissues and increases joint stability. This acts as reinforcement for the joints and helps
 prevent injury.


YOU WILL REDUCE YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE
Weight training can improve cardiovascular health in several ways, including lowering
 LDL ("bad") cholesterol, increase HDL ("good") cholesterol and lowering blood pressure.


YOU WILL REDUCE YOUR RISK OF DIABETES
Weight training may improve the way the body processes sugar, which may reduce the
 risk of diabetes. Research indicates that weight training can increase glucose utilization
 in the body by 23 percent in four months.


ITS NEVER TO LATE TO BENEFIT
Women in their 70's and 80's have built up significant strength through weight training
 and studies show that strength improvements are possible at any age.


YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR ATTITUDE AND FIGHT DEPRESSION
10 weeks of strength training can reduce clinical depression symptoms more
 successfully than standard counseling. Women who strength train commonly
 report feeling more confident and capable as a result of their program, all
 important factors in fighting depression.
