Add Strength Training In Your Week
Goodmorning! Yesterday I sent an article on the importance/benefits of strength training for weight loss! Here it is if you missed it: http://greatist.com/fitness/weight-loss-tips-strength-training-for-weight-loss?utm_source=CM&utm_medium=email&utm_content=story1_cta&utm_campaign=daily_newsletter_2017-04-21_testB_20160817
Here are some additional reasons I lift weights at least 3-4x week:
*lifting weights protects bone health and muscle mass- as we get older both decline and weight lifting can reverse bone and muscle loss!
*lifting weights makes you stronger and more fit!
*lifting weights improves body mechanics- think posture!
*lifting weights helps with disease prevention
*lifting weights boosts energy and improves mood- I can actually see this in some participants after class!
I'm encouraging everyone to give strength training a try! That's why I added the Round 6 class! It's a systematic full body workout that takes the guesswork out of what you should do in the gym! You can strengthen your whole body in 30-45min because the workout is written down and everything you need is out and ready for you! If 6am workouts are not for you, grab a friend and come get it done at a better time for you!
Questions please email me!
