STRENGTH TRAINING FOR WOMEN
The benefits of
strength
training for
women are
incredibly
powerful! For
years strength
training has
been overlooked
as a viable
weight loss
method for
women, only now
are women
beginning to
realize just how
important a
proper strength
training routine
is for their
overall health.
Below are
EVOFITNESS Top 10
Benefits of
Weight Training
for Women. Take
it in and start
your training
today!
Increased
Metabolic
Rate
Here is one
of the most
important
benefits of
strength
training for
women. We
always want
to discover
the secrets
to weight
loss... well
here is the
first
secret!
Strength
training
increases
your
metabolic
rate by
increasing
the calories
you burn on
a daily
basis. The
more
calories you
burn, the
more chance
you have to
drop body
fat.
Increasing
and
Restoring
Bone Density
Strength
training
prevents and
fights
osteoporosis.
See article
Strength
Training &
Osteoporosis.
Increased
Lean Muscle
Mass
You
will NOT get
big and
bulky by
strength
training!
You simply
do not have
enough
testosterone
in your
body. If you
take
steroids and
train for
hours and
hours and
dedicate
your life to
becoming a
bodybuilder
then you can
bulk up, but
otherwise it
physiologically
impossible.
FACT!
Simply lifting weights as part of a regular strength training routine will not cause women to bulk up. For every kilo of lean muscle mass that you have, you burn 75-100 calories per day! If you increase your muscle mass by just 5 kilos, your body fat will reduce, and as a result of this extra lean muscle, you will burn between an extra 350-500 calories a day. This is one of the biggest benefits of strength training for women.
Injury
Prevention
Strength
training
strengthens
our muscles
and tendons.
The stronger
we are the
less chance
of an
injury. This
is
especially
important as
we grow
older. The
benefits of
strength
training for
women and
men are
highly
touted for
injury
prevention.
Improved
Balance
Especially
important as
we grow
older.
Strength
training
builds a
strong
foundation.
Strengthening
our legs and
core section
means an
increase in
overall
balance and
coordination.
Decreased
Risk of
Coronary
Disease
Strength
training can
reduce your
blood
pressure. It
can also
decrease
your
cholesterol
levels.
These
benefits of
strength
training for
women alone
are a great
reason to
begin your
program
today. Heart
disease is
one of the
highest (if
not the
highest)
killers of
women around
the world
every year.
Aids
in
Rehabilitation
and Recovery
Strengthening
the muscles
around our
joints is
one of the
best ways to
prevent and
recover from
an injury.
For example,
the best way
to recover
from a knee
injury is to
strengthen
the quads
and calves.
Enhanced
Performance
in Sports,
Exercise and
Life In
General
The benefits
of strength
training for
women all
boil down to
one point- a
better
overall
quality of
life. We can
perform our
favourite
activities
with more
ease and
less pain.
We are able
to increase
our health
and mental
state from a
regular
strength
training
routine.
Graceful
Aging
With less
falls and
fewer
injuries we
are able to
age
gracefully.
Our lean and
toned bodies
create a
warm and
strong
persona.
Strength
training is
a major
factor in
aging well.
Enhancing
our muscles
and reducing
body fat are
prime ways
to prevent
sagging body
parts too!
Feeling
Better and
Looking
Better
I don't
think it is
much of a
secret that
we all want
to look
great. We
are all
searching
for ways to
look young.
Strength
training is
a vital part
of a fitness
routine.
Strength
training has
been shown
to increase
our muscle
tone,
decrease
body fat,
and so much
more. A
toned body
is but one
factor to
looking
great. The
other is
purely
mental.
There are so
many
positive
mental
benefits of
strength
training for
women. We
feel
accomplished,
secure, and
strong after
a strength
session.
