Have you ever thought about what your life would be like is you did not need help to install an air conditioner in a window, carry heavy groceries up the stairs, or carry boxes of charity donations to the car?
If you play sports, strength training will improve your game. You'll hit longer drives on the golf course and harder serves on the tennis court. You'll have more strength and stamina for yoga and Pilates. MOST important, you'll be able to do any of these recreational activities without getting injured.
You'll live longer and healthier too. Strength training has been shown to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure and to normalize blood glucose. It boosts your mood and energy and it strengthens your bones. Studies now show that strength training beats cardio for reducing the risk of heart disease and diabetes, lowering blood pressure, normalizing blood sugar, and reducing cholesterol. A recent study by researchers in Australia found that strength training significantly reduces blood pressure and improves cardiovascular function in aging adults. This means that strength training improves your quality of life so your can enjoy the simple pleasures in life, such as walking, pain-free!
So now that you know strength training will help you feel younger, energized, have better sleep, and handle stress better what are you waiting for. The results are dramatic and all the more satisfying because they last.
