Interested in building strong muscles, growing healthy bones and burning calories at the same time? Strength training — which includes lifting weights and doing weight-bearing exercises —could be just the activity you’re looking for, as it provides a long list of positives for women of all ages. Strength training might even help you live longer. 💯
“It’s really important for maintaining muscles, bone mass and keeping you doing the things you want to do, no matter your age. Remember, it’s never too late to build muscle or to build bones. Plus it really makes you feel good too.” While there are scores of gym classes and long lists of outdoor activities to choose from, adopting a weight-bearing exercise regimen – even a few days a week – can build strength and stamina that are key for women’s health as we age, go through menopause and in the latter part of life. ✔ If you need help putting together an exercise program specific to your requirements, contact us as our exercise physiologists can offer face to face or telehealth consult.
