Why Lift Weights?
Lifting weights is an essential part of living a healthy and active lifestyle. As we age, we lose bone density, muscle mass and mobility. Lifting weights prevents all of this from happening.
A good balance of resistance training combined with cardiovascular training, mobility work & stretching is important. Aside from adding healthy years to our muscles and bones, weightlifting offers so many health benefits such as increasing your metabolism to help you burn more calories throughout the day – which aids in weight loss or maintaining a healthy body composition.
Overall, strength training will improve your overall quality of life and release happy, healthy endorphins that will make you feel great.
