The Top 5 Main Reasons Why Women Should Lift

Despite what the other may say or think about women who lift, the facts and the reasons are clear, thus women should lift. There is multiple reasons why women should lift with the same dedication and intensity as men, and we will mention the main ones : 

1.BONE HEALTH

As you age, you are at risk of losing both bone and muscle mass. Women are at a greater risk for osteoporosis because the body no longer secretes estrogen. Resistance training is an excellent way to combat loss of bone mass, and it decreases the risk of osteoporosis (bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue).

2.CURVES

If you're losing both fat and muscle, you can lose those lovely curves as well. Strength training can help create and sustain them.

3.EFFECTIVE FAT LOSS

Although many people consider weightlifting only a means to add size, when contrasted head-to-head against cardiovascular exercise, resistance training comes out on top in the battle to burn calories. The huge advantage to weight training is your body's ability to burn fat during and after exercise.

4.IMPROVE YOUR BALANCE 

The fast-twitch fibers assist in speed and power movements and contract quickly and with sufficient force to catch yourself when you lose your balance.
