We all know that weightlifting has amazing benefits like gaining strength, increasing muscle mass, and maintaining a healthy body composition.
.
But, did you know...
1.
Lifting weights causes good stress on your tendons and bones, which helps maintain bone mineral density. This is very important as you age, as it helps reduce chances of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
2.
Weight training can help improve sleep and mood levels. Effects of exercise can help reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which can help you fall asleep quicker and have a better quality of sleep.
3.
Consistent weight training can help with weight loss. Increased muscle mass helps to increase resting metabolism rates. This is the rate that your body burns calories through the day. That means your body is a calorie burning machine even when you're not exercising.
