Women are notorious for focusing on cardio rather than strength training for fear of building bulky muscles. Ladies, here are some compelling reasons you should incorporate strength training:

• It boosts metabolic activity. This leads to more efficient fat burning. Research has shown that women who strength train burn more calories for two hours than women who just do aerobic exercise.
• It keeps muscles toned. Who wants to be skinny and soggy? Strength training slows muscular degeneration that happens naturally as we age.
• It leads to stronger, denser bones, which helps to reduce the chances of osteoporosis.
• It helps improve posture. A strength training routine that engages your core will tone the muscles that support your spine which will give you a leaner, longer and stronger physique.
• It improves balance. This will help in all aspects of your life whether you are lifting a baby, grocery bags or reaching for that top shelf.
• It feels good to be strong!
