The Benefits of Weight Training

When it comes to weight loss, health and quality of life a little weight training can go a long way.

Working your muscles as well as your heart and lungs can improve your health and help you drop a clothes size faster.

Weight training is just as suitable for women as it is for men. Many women are wary of taking it up for fear that increased muscle means increased masculinity, this is not the case. Testosterone is a very important factor in the development of muscle shape, so as women have very low levels of this hormone their muscles develop differently, meaning a little resistance training will not lead to a bulky physique.

Strong muscles, tendons and ligaments are much more capable of withstanding stress, and the improved flexibility gained by strength training also reduces the likelihood of pulled muscles and back pain.

A little effort will reap big benefits. You can feel healthier and look better, which in turn will make you feel better about yourself and the benefits can last for the rest of your life.

Be careful that safety is used in weight training so injury does not occur. Start slowly, but with progression. Proper form and technique is essential for safety, therefore our team of qualified instructors are always on hand to offer advice and assistance.
