Weight lifting is one the best training regiments that can help you get into a better shape fast. In fact, it can also help you fight belly fat, heat disease, stress, cancer, the list goes on.
Nonetheless, if you’re still hesitant about starting a weight lifting program, here some benefits which may make the trick for you.
1. Your clothes will fit better.
As you age, Research shows that you'll likely lose up to 10 percent of your body's total muscle. Worse yet, it's likely to be replaced - over time- by fat. Fortunately, if you’re lifting weight consistently, you won’t have to worry much, since your muscle mass will be preserved and even increased over training for a prolonged period of time.
2. You'll burn more calories.
Weight lifting boosts metabolism levels like nothing else. In fact, you will be burning the extra calories while being sedentary or just laying around on the couch. And here is why: after each strength workout session, your muscles need energy to repair their fibers from the stress of training and this process requires lots of energy.
Hence, your body will be burning calories at higher level, up to 24 hours or more afterwards, to keep its recovery demands satisfied.
3. You’ll build stronger bones.
As you climb up the age scale, your bone mass goes to pot, thus increasing the chance of injuries and fractures. Nevertheless and according to countless studies, consistent weight lifting training does boost bone density up and help you enjoy fitter and stronger bones later on. Therefore, you can steer away from those crippling fractures and pains
4. You’ll be way more productive.
Weight lifting boosts productivity levels. A study found that people can be more productive at their tasks on days they exercised compared with off training days. In fact, they were 15 percent more productive; a good number if you want a pat on the back from your boss.
