Many women spend load s of time in the weight room and very little time in the weight room for various reasons. Most reasons are unfounded and typically misconceived notions. Regardless of your reasons, here are 8 reasons why you need to hit the weight room hard!!
1. Strong Bones. Research shows that resistance training directly correlates to greater levels of bone density and preservation. As women get older there is a greater risk of osteoporosis. Get in the weight room instead of just doing aerobics and you could slow that process and live a long healthy lifestyle.
2. Increase BodyTone. By weight training you have the potential to increase lean muscle up to 1kg with 2 months of resistance training a couple of times per week. For each Kilo of added muscle you have the potential of burning an extra 100 calories per day. Better yet you have the potential to safely lose 2 to 3 Kilos of Fat at the same time. This translates into more shape and tone as your fat decrease begins to show the natural muscle shape under the skin.
3. Stay Injury Free. Working with a quality personal trainer or health & fitness coach who will help you with proper form with exercise will keep you injury free for years to come. It's important to know what you're doing in the gym. But did you know that weight training also helps to increase joint stability by strengthening tendons and ligaments? Stronger joints mean injury prevention.
4. Increase Strength. Lifting the kids or boxes shouldn't always be the guy's job. Besides, what about those times where the hubby isn't around? Remain active and healthy with some strength training and it will pay off the next time you grab that heavy container.
5. Improve Performance. Whether you're an athlete or not lifting weights can improve performance in daily activities or the sport that you play. This is another area where a personal trainer or health and fitness coach can assist you in understanding the relationship between your weight training movements and your sport or the daily activities in your life.
6. No Bulking. Don't worry about getting bulky or looking like a man. The biggest myth and misconception is that if you lift weights you will look like a man. It's actually quite the opposite. Women have much less testosterone than men. You will however define and tone your muscles and look good in that bikini or backless dress.
7. Improve Confidence. Working with weights has been shown to improve women's confidence and readiness to take on a challenge. Self confidence reduces the symptoms of clinical depression and it will show from the bar to the boardroom.
8. Improved Mental Focus. Lifting weights requires a tremendous amount of focus and attention. By stimulating the nervous system through weight training, experts believe that there is an increase in mental focus and acuity.
So ladies, what are you waiting for? Get in the gym and get to work on creating the new and healthier YOU!
