Slowing metabolic rate, putting weight on, feeling tired, aching joints, clothes getting tighter, body feeling saggy…
can seriously get you down. I believe we can age well & feel good.
Here's how...
I see the changes & turnarounds every week with people in my classes & in 1:1.
.
Here’s my top 5 science backed reasons to start strength training if you're over 50.
It will give you outsized benefits, some thought would never be possible to achieve…
.
It helps to alleviate & prevent arthritis
It eases joint pain & stiffness. A Finnish study found that rheumatoid arthritis patients who did strength training twice a week experienced reductions in inflammation, pain & disease progression than those who only walked.
.
2- It improves your balance, coordination & posture
You need strong muscles for good balance. One study showed that older people who did strength training twice a week reduced their risk of falling by 40%.
.
3- It prolongs your life
According to a 2014 UCLA study, the more muscle mass we have, the longer we live.
.
4- It reduces your risk of injuries & falls
Progressive strength training also strengthens your bones, tendons & ligaments. It increases the production of collagen, which is the most important protein that is involved in building your bones.
.
5- Burns calories efficiently
Strength training helps boost your metabolism in two ways.
First, building muscle increases your metabolic rate. Muscles are more metabolically efficient than fat mass, allowing you to burn more calories at rest.
Second, research shows that your metabolic rate is increased up to 72 hours after strength-training exercise. This means that you’re still burning additional calories hours & even days after your workout.
