So what are the benefits of resistance, also know as weight training? There are so many benefits to resistance training, so it’s well-worth including elements of this in your weekly fitness regime. Here are some points which in our opinion makes resistance training beneficial and therefore get you more results!
Weight Training and Strength
Firstly, you’ll be stronger! it’s no surprise that by pushing your muscles, they’ll become stronger. Therefore resistance training is a fantastic way to increase your ability to lift, push and pull more weight.
Secondly, better bone density! There are many concerns these days about developing bone issues such as osteoporosis. This can become more common as people age, however resistance training can help. In the same way as building muscle, it can improve the strength of your bones.
Weight Training for Toning
Toned muscles! if there’s any part of your body you’d like to make leaner, toned or stronger. Resistance training is an excellent way to hone in on key areas. Plus, it can help to address any muscle imbalance.
Weight Training and Your Health
Decreased risk of heart disease! As with many different kinds of fitness, resistance training can help lower blood pressure. It can also lower body fat, improve cholesterol and therefore prevent too much pressure being placed on your heart.
Slow rate of muscle atrophy! as we get older we’re more likely to see age-related muscle decline (sarcopenia). Keeping your muscles strong and regularly working on improving them can therefore help reduce the risks of muscle problems as the years go by.
