We always tell our clients that cardio alone will make you a smaller version of the shape you already are, but if changing the shape of your body and shedding fat is something you desire, then weight training should be your focus! But that’s not all! There are so many other great benefits you get from being strong. Read on to find out what they are.
The Benefits of Being Strong
If you enjoy strength training for how it changes the way you look, you’re going to love these incredible benefits of being strong as a result of your efforts.
- It improves your hormonal balance. If you’re struggling with fat loss, low energy, cravings, and
more, this is so important! Even for those who are experiencing menopause. - It boosts your confidence. Trust us on this one! When you consistently make resistance training a part of your routine, it not only transforms the way you look, but also the way you FEEL!
- It protects your bones. Strength training increases bone density, decreasing your risk
for many age-related diseases. - It decreases your risk of injury. When you’re strong, you can more easily complete daily tasks
like bending and lifting. Your balance and coordination increase. Pair that with increased flexibility and strength and you are less likely to throw out your back or get hurt due to a fall. - Your posture will improve. Enough said, right? Good posture not only looks better, but according to research can also help you more open and confident.
- You can rely on yourself. Whether you need to store a suitcase overhead on a plane or carry in 8 grocery bags at once, having physical independence and not asking anyone for help is an incredible gift to give yourself. Bonus: You can offer your physical strength to others when they need it.
