, here in the western hemisphere, the days are getting shorter and we’re heading into the dark and cozy months. There’s no better time of year to focus on getting strong!
Of course, everyone is talking about strength training these days but if you’re still not convinced, here are some of the big reasons why you should invest in strength training:
💪 Muscle mass decreases with age: After the age of 30, women can lose 3-8% muscle mass per year - strength training is the obvious counterbalance.
🫀Strength training improves your metabolic health by significantly improving insulin sensitivity, making it easier to manage your blood sugar and lowering your risk for diseases like type 2 diabetes.
🧠 It’s good for your brain. Resistance training triggers a cascade of muscle-based proteins that help generate new connections in the brain.
👊 It ups your chances of surviving cancer. Performing any resistance training was associated with a 14% decrease in cancer mortality.
🙌🏻 You could live longer! 60 minutes of resistance training per week was associated with an all-cause mortality risk reduction of up to 27%.
💃 Being strong is feisty! Okay, that’s not scientifically reviewed but resistance training is shown to help build a better body image and loving your body is Feisty AF.
