AND YOUR FIRST WORKOUT IS ON ME! 4 reasons Why women should lift weights. Including there own body weight!  1. Change your body shape. Weight training can slim you down, create new curves, and help
avoid the "middle-age spread. Dropping only 3 percent of your body fat
could translate into a total loss of 3 inches off your hips and thighs.
And no, you won't bulk up—women don't have enough muscle-building
hormones to gain a lot of mass like men do. If you keep your diet clean
and create a calorie deficit, you'll burn fat. 2. Get stronger and more confident.
Lifting weights increases functional fitness, which makes everyday
tasks such as carrying children, lifting grocery bags, and picking up
heavy suitcases much easier. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular
weight training can make you 50 percent stronger in 6 months. Being
strong is also empowering. Not only does it improve your physical
activities, it builds emotional strength by boosting self-esteem and
confidence. 3. Heart health. More
than 480,000 women die from cardiovascular disease each year, making it
the number-one killer of women over the age of 25. Most people don't
realize that pumping iron can also keep your heart pumping. Lifting
weights increases your "good" (HDL) cholesterol and decreases your "bad"
(LDL) cholesterol. It also lowers your blood pressure. The Journal of the American Medical Association
reports that people who do 30 minutes of weight lifting each week have a
23 percent reduced risk of developing heart disease compared to those
who don't lift weights. 4. Fight depression. You've
probably heard that cardio and low-impact exercises such as yoga help
alleviate depression, and weight lifting has the same effect. The
endorphins that are released during aerobic activities are also present
during resistance training. Many women find that regular strength
training, in conjunction with psychological treatment, helps lessen
their depression symptoms substantially. NEW CAMP JANUARY 27 MONDAY WEDNESDAY ROSELAWN CONDON SCHOOL 6-7 PM  Don't forget to share this with friends, family and co-workers who are trying to get fit. Committed to your SUCCESS! MAJOR |
