Gone are the days of believing that lifting weights alone will make you big and bulky. This is a common myth that deters a lot of people, especially women, from incorporating a resistance program into their workout.
Many factors go into how your body will respond to a weight training program.
As we hit our 30s, we start to lose valuable muscle mass (sarcopenia), and we continue to lose muscle with age, but this can be slowed down, and even reversed with a consistent resistance program.
Completing as little as three 30 minute resistant workouts per week can have massive benefits.
Benefits include: an increase in lean muscle, ability to burn fat more efficiently, weight loss, increase in functional ability, reduction in stress and anxiety, decrease risk of osteoporosis, lower risk of cardiovascular disease, increased flexibility, improved posture, boosted metabolism and increase in confidence and state of mind.
