12 Reasons Why Resistance Exercise is Vital
12 REASONS WHY EVERYONE SHOULD DO RESISTANCE EXERCISES
BENEFIT 1: Avoid Muscle Loss. Only resistance exercise maintains muscle mass and strength throughout your life.
BENEFIT 2: Avoid Metabolic Rate Reduction. Resistance exercise prevents muscle loss and prevents a decrease in resting metabolic rate.
BENEFIT 3: Increase Muscle Mass. A standard resistance training programme can increase muscle mass by about 3lbs over an 8 week training period.
BENEFIT 4: Increase Metabolic Rate. By adding 3lbs of muscle you increase metabolic rate by 7% and daily calorie requirements by 15%.
BENEFIT 5: Reduce Body Fat. Resistance exercise produced 4lbs of fat loss after 3 months training.
BENEFIT 6: Increase Bone Mineral Density. The same training stimulus that increases muscle myoproteins also increases osteoproteins and mineral content.
BENEFIT 7: Improve Glucose Metabolism. A 23% increase in glucose uptake ha been reported after 4 months of strength training. Poor glucose metabolism is associated with adult onset diabetes.
BENEFIT 8: Increase Gastrointestinal Transit Time. One study showed a 56% increase in gastrointestinal transit time after 3 months strength training.
BENEFIT 9: Reduce Resting Blood Pressure. Resistance training alone reduces resting blood pressure. Resistance and aerobic exercise is also very effective in reducing blood pressure readings.
BENEFIT 10: Improve Blood Lipid Levels. At least 2 studies revealed improved blood lipid profiles after several weeks of resistance exercise.
BENEFIT 11 Reduce Low Back Pain. Strong low back muscles are less likely to be injured.
BENEFIT 12 Reduce Arthritic Pain. Sensible resistance training eases osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
