When you think of weight-lifting, you can’t help but imagine big men with bulging muscles, but lifting weights and resistance training isn’t just for men and doesn’t necessarily mean building bulging muscles!  For women, weight lifting and resistance training performed in a sensible way can bring a host of health benefits as well as helping to tone the body.

As we get older, women can have a tendency to:

·         Put more weight on - leading to a higher risk of developing diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

·         Develop flabby arms - the so-called “bingo wings”!

·         Lose bone density - leading to a higher risk of osteoporosis.

·         Lose joint mobility.

·         Lose muscle – between the ages of 30 and 50 you’re likely to lose around 10% of your body’s total muscle.

Weight-lifting and resistance training can help improve all of the above, providing that it is performed in a sensible way.  Medium intensity resistance training performed just 3 times a week could help improve your overall health and well-being, leading to a stronger, healthier and more confident YOU!
