Benefits of Weight Training
Increase your confidence:
The full body toning effect of weight training helps women physically and mentally. The visual feedback women receive from seeing changes in their bodies from weight training increases their feel good mood. When women are able to lift heavy weights they begin to feel stronger physically and mentally. Add those two together and you have a boost in self confidence and self esteem.
Decrease risk of osteoporosis:
Bones are in a constant stage of breaking down and building up, commonly referred to as remodeling. Lifting weights actually loads bones and muscles forcing them to remodel and handle greater stresses. As bone density (measure of the amount of minerals that are found in bone) becomes greater, women are able to tolerate greater loads. As women age, stronger bones will decrease their risk for osteoporosis.
Increase resting metabolism:
A properly programmed strength training program should elicit increases in muscle fiber size. When muscle fibers enlarge, more energy is consumed and will lead to a boost in metabolism.
Gain muscle and burn fat:
The more lean muscle mass women have, the more efficient their bodies are at burning calories and keeping fat percentages down.
