Benefits Of Weight Training for Women

Strength training is more than just getting firm and tight! The health benefits of weight training for women includes a revved-up metabolism that burns calories more efficiently, reduced body fat, increased lean muscle mass, and so much more!

Strength training can also:

• Build muscle

• Improves posture

• Increase bone density

• Decrease the risk of injury

• Improve confidence and self-efficacy

• Improve quality of life

• Improve body mechanics including coordination, posture, flexibility and balance

• 
  

Is that enough to convince you?! I would hope so! That’s why women of all ages—including those over 50—should practice weight training regularly. Remember: it’s never too late to start!

How To Get Started with Strength Training

Here are a few beginner strength training tips to make sure you get started on the right foot:

1. Lift the Right Amount of Weight

You should feel challenged at the end of your sets. Think of strength movements like sculpting your muscles. Tune into the mind-body connection.

2. Nail Down Your Form

For strength workouts, it’s so important to master the form to protect against injury. Don’t forget to give yourself body-positive affirmations!

3. Schedule Regular Workouts, But Don’t Overdo It

Doing too much too quickly is a common mistake in early weight training, especially for women. Women are wired to push hard and try to overachieve. Wait until a few days later. Your muscles will let you know! The soreness of weight training workouts sets in and you’ll know you pushed your muscles.

Strength training is a necessary part of your health & fitness journey.

You can’t deny all the health benefits plus the boost in confidence this form of exercise can add to your life!
