Is it very important for women above 40 to lift weights and be regular with their workouts??
The below post says it all !!!
Thanks to Invictus Performance Lab and my coach Bijoy Joseph Bastian who not only helped me overcome my SI Joint Pain issues and are also training me to get stronger with a structured strength & conditioning sessions!!
They truly empowered me with knowledge as to why women above 40 should lift weights and train regularly!!
Benefits:
1. **Combatting Muscle Loss**: As women age, they naturally lose muscle mass, a process known as sarcopenia. Weight training helps counteract this by building and maintaining muscle strength and endurance.
2. **Enhancing Bone Density**: Women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis, especially post-menopause. Strength training stresses the bones, which helps increase bone density and reduces the risk of fractures.
3. **Boosting Metabolism**: Muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest. By increasing muscle mass through weight training, women over 40 can boost their metabolism, which helps manage weight and increases energy levels.
4. **Improving Balance and Coordination**: As balance can deteriorate with age, the risk of falls increases. Weight training enhances coordination, balance, and posture, reducing the risk of falling and sustaining injuries.
5. **Aiding in Disease Prevention**: Regular weight training can help manage and prevent various health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and arthritis, by improving overall physical health and maintaining joint flexibility.
6. **Enhancing Mental Health**: Exercise, including weight training, releases endorphins, which can help improve mood and reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. It also contributes to better sleep patterns and stress management.
7. **Increasing Functional Strength**: Weight training improves functional strength, making everyday activities easier and less injury-prone. This includes carrying groceries, climbing stairs, or lifting objects, which can enhance quality of life and independence.
Incorporating weight training into a regular fitness routine can provide these benefits and more, promoting a healthier, more active lifestyle for all!!
