Many fitness programs marketed to women emphasize the importance of cardio for weight loss. But did you know strength training or weightlifting is actually more beneficial for overall health?
Strength training is essential to long-term wellness. Because some benefits aren't found in other forms of exercise, experts recommend women do both cardio and strength training regularly.
For more details on how strength training can improve your overall health, you can read the full blog at integrisok.com/StrengthTrainingForWomen.
Here are some of the health benefits of weightlifting for women-
Increases muscle mass - which helps prevent injury, improve range of motion and aid in daily functions.
Helps with weight loss - like cardio, strength training burns calories, which can help you achieve a caloric deficit.
Better quality of sleep
Increases energy
Lowers stress levels
And boosts confidence
If you’ve never tried strength training before, walking into a weight room can be intimidating. You can also injure yourself if you aren’t sure of proper form. Here are a few tips to help you get started.
Hire a trainer - while trainers can be pricey, working with a trainer (even just a few times) can help you understand proper form and learn how to structure a workout properly.
Get a workout buddy - brining a friend can make exercise more fun and less scary. They can also hold you accountable to your fitness goals.
Start slow - over-training can cause fatigue, injury or lack of interest over time. Start with two strength training workouts per week and increase as you feel comfortable.
