Weight Training

The Top 20 Benefits of Weight Training



  1. Tones and shapes muscles, which looks great and raises your basal metabolism. This means you burn calories 24 - 7 - even while sleeping.
  2. Reverses the natural decline in your metabolism which begins around age 30. Without weight training your body has lost the ability to burn about 100 calories a day and increases by approximately 100 calories a decade. By age 50 your body has lost the ability to naturally burn off about 300 calories a day.
  3. Weight training has a positive effect on all of your 650 plus muscles. Each pound of muscle gained burns 35 -50 more calories daily. If you gain 3 lbs of muscles and burn approx. 40 calories per pound you'll burn 120 calories more each day or 3,600 calories more a month that equals a loss of 10 - 12 lbs in one year.
  4. Strengthens your bones and reduces and reverses the risk of developing osteoporosis. After age 35 most women lose 1% of bone mass each year. Never too old to start.
  5. Weight training improves your muscular endurance.
  6. Weight training will NOT develop big muscles on women!
  7. Weight training makes you strong. Strength gives you confidence and makes daily activities easier. Studies show even 90 year olds benefit from lifting weights.
  8. Weight training makes you less prone to low back injuries.
  9. Weight training decreases your resting blood pressure.
  10. Weight training decreases your risk of developing onset diabetes.
  11. Weight training decreases your gastrointestinal transit time, reducing your risk for developing colon cancer.
  12. Weight training increases your blood level of HDL cholesterol (the good type).
