Cardio Training

Besides the obvious of---weight training helps you look better by shaping and toning your body, here are some you might not have thought of (weight training includes bodyweight exercises, resistance band exercises and medicine ball exercises):

1. Weight training helps you burn more calories and more fat after your workout and even while you sleep (because of increased metabolic rate).

2. Your metabolism naturally declines with age starting at about age 30. Use weight training to keep your metabolism humming even as you age.

3. Do you need more energy during the day? Weight training will help you stay strong and energized.

4. Reduce your risk of osteoporosis with regular weight training. Just running is not enough!

5. Live a fuller, happier life with a strong body and positive self esteem.

6. Finish your strenuous yard work and other hard tasks without getting injured (because you are physically weak)!

7. Keep your posture upright and strong throughout your life with regular strength training.

8. Allow your heart to work more efficiently with regular weight training because of a reduced resting heart rate and blood pressure.

9. Decrease the risk of diseases, like diabetes and high cholesterol, with regular strength training.

10. Weight training helps lower the risk of broken bones by older adults because of improved balance and coordination.

Start your regular strength training ASAP (2-3 days a week)!
