Looking for a new approach to switch things up and give you the boost you need? Supplement your workout routine with strength training!
These are some of the most noteworthy benefits of strength training:
Regular strength training stresses your bones, which will ultimately increase bone density, helping fight off conditions like osteoporosis and arthritis.
It also increases your metabolism, which helps you burn more calories throughout the day.
Strength training can help improve cardiovascular function by strengthening the heart and lungs. It can reduce resting blood pressure, cholesterol levels and risk of cardiovascular disease as well.
A regular practice can help increase the stability and strength of the joints, which can prevent injuries and improve overall function
It can help improve sleep quality too, which is essential for physical and mental well-being and may help reduce fatigue and increase energy levels throughout the day.
Strength training can also enhance your overall quality of life! By building muscle, everyday tasks because easier. For example, you have less risk of falling. This can help you stay independent with age.
And about aging…After the age of 30 muscle mass will naturally decrease, you’ll start losing up to 5% of your lean muscle mass per year. Just 30 minutes of strength training twice per week can counteract that! A regular practice can prevent and even reverse the loss of muscle mass, power and strength.
Strength training is considered a safe form of exercise when done properly. However, it’s vital to understand the proper form and safety guidelines to maximise the benefits of strength training while minimising potential risks and injuries.
