  1. Strength Training & Weight Training 101: Why You Need to Get Strong

  2. If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, and/or just look and feel better, strength training will do just that. In this comprehensive series, we’re going to cover EVERYTHING you need to know about getting strong.

  3. What are the Benefits of Strength Training? Life is EASIER when you’re strong: • Carrying groceries? One trip. • Children to carry? No problem. • Car stuck in the snow? Push it out with ease. • Feel like a badass? YUP! Plus, whether you’re 100 lbs overweight or just need to lose the last 15, strength training is one of the most effective ways to burn fat and build muscle.

  4. HOW STRENGTH TRAINING WILL HELP AS YOU AGE: #1) Halt and even reverse sarcopenia: As we age our skeletal muscle deteriorates, which is a condition known as sarcopenia. Strength training has been found to reduce the negative effects of sarcopenia allowing us to maintain an independent lifestyle (and out of a nursing home) and live longer

  5. #2) Prevent disease and degenerative conditions: Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Strength training helps correct issues relating to cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and inactivity – all factors for heart disease.

  6. #3) Improve the quality of life for people with: Arthritis,osteoporosis,Parkinson’sDisease,DownSyndrome,lymphedema,fibromyalgia,whohave recently had a stroke, have had a spinal cord injury, cancer survivors and clinical depression.

  7. HOW STRENGTH TRAINING WILL HELP YOU TODAY: #1) Lose weight, look good naked: You can find study after studyafterstudythat shows you the benefits of strength training for weight management when combined with “calorie restriction.”(eating fewer calories than you burn every day), such as greater fat loss and improvements in muscle mass.

  8. #2) Strength training can help increase your metabolism by speeding up your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). It takes your body more calories to maintain muscle than it does to maintain fat! #3) Strength training has a much greater level of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption than aerobic exercise.

  9. HOW STRENGTH TRAINING CAN MAKE YOU HEALTHIER: #1) Strength training increases bone density, builds a stronger heart, reduces your resting blood pressure, improves blood flow, halts muscle loss, helps control blood sugar, improves cholesterol levels, and improves your balance and coordination.Thisis all great news because this will decrease your risk of developing conditions such as osteoporosis, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.

  10. #2) Strength training will make you FEEL better: Not only will you find yourself with more energy and confidence, less stress and anxiety, and a better overall mood, but you’ll actually begin to think better (resistance training has been proven to help increase cognitive function

  11. Strength training allows for neurogenesis and neuroplasticity to take place, which is the process of creating new neural pathways in the brain. Plus, strength training also allows for certain neurotransmitters (e.g., dopamine) to be released that plays a role in brain health.
