Weight Training Benefits

There are tons of benefits to weight training and while some of them are apparent, others take some time to show but can augment your health and wellness in the long run.

What Are the Benefits of Weight Training?

Increased muscle strength

Ever look at someone jacked and wonder how strong the person is? If you are anything like the hundreds of customers we train across Indiana, chances are that your dream physique is a strong one. That’s where weight training can help increase muscle strength and size by causing the muscles to adapt to the stress of lifting weights.

Improved bone density

Ask anyone above the age of 40 what their biggest fear is and breaking a bone would make it to the top of the list. Strength training and resistance training can help make osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions a thing of the past.

Improved mental health

The world of today looks very different from 15 years ago. Mental health is of primordial concern these days and exercising, especially weight training can help. So if you are looking to unwind and boost your dopamine levels, weight training is for you.

Improved physical function

Weight training can help improve your balance, coordination, and posture, which can help you perform everyday tasks more easily. So if you want to counter the malignancies of aging and improve your quality of life, weight training with a degree of consistency is the way to go.

Increased metabolism

Obesity is a growing concern amongst people across all genders and age groups and the “get-slim-quick” remedies or fad diets do more harm than good. But weight training can help you lose weight sustainably. Muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue, so building muscle can help increase your metabolism, leading to weight loss.
