"Women are finally warming up to free
weights, and it is a beautiful thing!" states

It's true that women are recognizing strength
training as a major player in the battle against
fat loss. Here are the top 10 benefits women
receive from strength training:
1) Increased Metabolic Rate- adding muscle
increases our metabolism naturally.
2) Increasing and Restoring Bone Density- prevent
and fight osteoporosis by building strong bones.
3) Increased Lean Muscle Mass- each pound of lean
muscle mass burns 35-50 calories per day.
4) Injury Prevention- a solid foundation
strengthens our bones, ligaments, and tendons.
5) Improved Balance- strong leg and core muscles
help stabilize us.
6) Decreased Risk of Coronary Disease- strength
training can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol
levels.
7) Aids Rehabilitation and Recovery- the best way
to strengthen and recover from an injury is to
slowly build your strength around the injured
area.
8) Enhanced Performance in Sports, Exercise and
Life In General- climbing stairs, carrying the
kids, or walking with your spouse becomes more
enjoyable.
9) Aging Gracefully- strong muscles build a strong
body. Strength training and fitness can help keep
aging bodies in well-working condition.
10) Feeling Better and Looking Better- strength
training reduces overall body fat, it tones our
muscles and it builds confidence.
These top 10 benefits all come for free when you
begin a proper strength training routine. Be sure
to check with your doctor before beginning any new
fitness program.
