Healthy living is something that everyone should take advantage of. From eating well to exercising, there are several routes someone can take that lead to a happier, healthier life.
At Lift House Fitness, we use our weight-centric approach through personal fitness classes that help our clients build the body they want. Aside from making visible gains, there are several reasons to implement any amount of weight lifting into your exercise routine.
Weight Lifting Promotes Healthy Fat Loss
Cardio is great for your health, but if you rely on it solely for fat loss, eventually, you’re going to hit a plateau. Strength training helps your body increase its lean muscle mass. The muscle strength training creates gives your metabolism the boost it needs to burn more resting calories per day.
A lengthy cardio workout may burn more immediate calories than a single strength training session, but we promise that the resting metabolism benefits of a one-on-one training session pays off in greater health dividends.
Strength is Useful for Every Aspect of Your Life
Weight lifting will build muscle over time. Whether you want a lean, toned physique, or a bulkier build, the benefits of increased strength helps out in every aspect of your life. Not only does weight training help you sleep better, stay more focused, and give a natural energy boost, but it also makes every day activity less of a chore.
With even a beginner level strength training routine, bringing in the groceries, roughhousing with your kids, and powering through the average work day just become easier tasks.
Weight Lifting Reduces the Possibility of Chronic Disease
Getting strong is a huge upside to prioritizing strength training. However, weight lifting can also help your body fight off chronic diseases over time. Much like other forms of exercise, weight lifting staves off the following diseases:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Osteoarthritis
- Metabolic disorders
- Cancer
Even just an hour of weekly training can help your body defend itself against health issues that would vastly decrease your quality of life. Give yourself a true fighting chance and push yourself to the limits with training that meets your comfort level.
Proper Lifting Reduces Exercise Injuries
Our personal training classes may be focused on strength-based exercise, but we know that your body can only benefit more by adding in other routines like cardio or athletics.
When you weight train, not only do your muscles reap the benefits, but your bones also become denser and stronger. This can reduce joint pain experienced through other exercises like running or intense yoga sessions.
Aside from bone and muscle benefits, your body’s connective tissues also become stronger and make your movements fluid, which reduces the risk of injury during exercise or throughout average daily activity. Proper lifting can address asymmetries to help avoid injuries and improve posture. Improving posture can enhance circulation and functions as you age and improve your overall health and wellbeing.
It Gives an Amazing Confidence Boost
Finally, when your body feels great combined with literally becoming stronger, you’re going to feel empowered and confident. At Lift House Fitness, our goal is to bring out the confidence in you through our personalized training programs.
Trust our trainers to help you meet your health goals and build a body that you deserve to be proud of.
