Opinions Don’t Get ResultsAsk anyone who exercises and you’ll get lots of opinions. One will tell you to attend an aerobics class. Another will swear by jogging. Yet another will tell you that dance and biking worked for them.But, what works for them may not work for you. And you may not want to do the same thing as them. We’ve all learned that opinions don’t get results.Skinny Does Not Equal “Fit”When someone is skinny, but has very little muscle tissue, they aren’t truly fit. We’ve all seen “skinny” people who still have loose skin or squishy arms or belly.Ok, So How Do I Get Fit?Strength TrainingStrength training is when resistance is used to challenge your muscles in order to gain strength and endurance. Weights, exercise bands, medicine balls, cable machines, sandbags, kettle bells or even just using your own body weight are tools we can use in strength training. You’ll improve your strength and muscle tone, cardiovascular capacity, speed agility and flexibility, and resistance to injury and disease.9 Reasons You Need Strength Training 1) Get Toned: Don’t worry, ladies, you won’t ‘bulk up’ or look masculine. Your arms, belly, and legs will become tighter, sleeker and more tone.2) Fat Loss: Strength training ensures that you only lose fat and not the muscles that keep you toned.3) Strong Bones: The older we get, the more important our bone density is. A good strength training program is one of your best defenses when it comes to osteoporosis.4) Relief from Anxiety, Stress and Depression: You’ll release plenty of endorphins that make you feel good and release some of that pent-up energy.5) Better sleep: Studies show that strength training improves sleep.6) Reduce Back Pain: Strengthen up those muscles and help alleviate back pain.7) Risk of Diabetes: Improving insulin sensitivity through regular strength training reduces the risk.8) Improve Cholesterol Ratio: lowering bad cholesterol and increasing good cholesterol or byproducts of strength training. Maybe you could stop taking those pills if the numbers improve and your doctor agrees. It’s worth it.9) Faster Metabolism: Get your metabolism up and keep it up even on the days you don’t work out! You will also burn more calories at rest.Yesterday you said you’d start getting in shape tomorrow. Today is tomorrow!Call or email us today. Now is the perfect time to get started!
