Weight Lifting

Weight lifting can help you lose the fat, build muscle, and so much more.

         Weight lifting is the process of lifting items of great mass in order to increase the muscle size and strength of a person. This is typically done in a number of different ways to target muscle groups in different parts of a person’s body, and can be done specifically for the aesthetic effects it has on the body.

                 

Reasons To Start Lifiting Weights Today:

You'll Burn More Calories:
               
         Lifting increases the number of calories you burn while your butt is parked on the couch. That's because after each strength workout, your muscles need energy to repair their fibers. In fact, researchers found that when people did a total-body workout with just three big-muscle moves, their metabolisms were raised for 39 hours afterward. 

Your Diet Will Improve

           Exercise helps your brain stick to a diet plan. University of Pittsburgh researchers studied 169 overweight adults and found that those who didn't follow a three-hours-a-week training regimen ate more than their allotted 1,500 calories a day.

You'll Handle Stress Better

              Break a sweat in the weight room and you'll stay cool under pressure. Scientists determined that the fittest people exhibited lower levels of stress hormones than those who were the least fit.

You'll Be Happier

           Yoga isn't the only Zen-inducing kind of exercise. Researchers found that people who performed three weight workouts a week for six months significantly improved their scores on measures of anger and overall mood.

You'll Build Stronger Bones

                As you age, bone mass goes to pot, which increases your likelihood of one day suffering a debilitating fracture.

You'll Get Into Shape Faster
            
          The term cardio shouldn't describe only aerobic exercise: A study found that circuit training with weights raises your heart rate 15 beats per minute higher than if you ran at 60 to 70 percent of your max heart rate. This approach strengthens muscles and provides cardiovascular benefits similar to those of aerobic exercise—so you save time without sacrificing results.

You'll Be Even Smarter

              Muscles strengthen your body and mind: Brazilian researchers found that six months of resistance training enhanced lifters' cognitive function. In fact, the sweat sessions resulted in better short- and long-term memory, improved verbal reasoning, and a longer attention span.
