Did you know that lifting weights and using resistance training can greatly reduce your risk of heart disease, improve bone density, joint mobility and body composition, while also relieving anxiety and depression? According to a June 2013 study published in the journal of Diabetes, both men and women became more insulin sensitive after 12 weeks of strength training, decreasing their risk of getting type 2 diabetes. In that same study, scientists showed that an increase in strength also led to an increase in lean body mass, decrease in fasting glucose and insulin, and even led to greater aerobic capacity. You catch that? Lifting Weights can help you become stronger AND have greater cardiovascular endurance and ability. So YES weight training is a form of cardio as well. It gets your heart pumping! Let’s take diseases. Diseases are affecting everyone around us. Did you know that weight training or any exercise for that matter can greatly reduce our risk of some diseases? While yes there are some that it may not be able to PREVENT, like HOWEVER it can make a huge impact in our recovery time from surgery. I have seen clients or friends that are physically fit bounce back so much faster than any doctor expected because of the muscles in their body. Lean muscle mass can do so much for our bodies in ways we never expect, it is not just strengthen them but it helps use up those unwanted calories and burn them up as energy and not store them as fat. Muscle helps us maintain a faster metabolism, increased bone density, keeps our heart healthy and our organs functioning properly. The best one yet, it can help us STAY OFF or GET OFF those dreaded medications the pharmaceutical companies want to shove down our throats. Call or message us if you want to know how to get started. We would love to help you. Www.ifitnessconsulting
