In case you haven't noticed, we believe in lifting heavy around here. 🏋♂️
In fact, it is such an important part of what we do, we put together our top 4 reasons why you should start picking up the weights!!
✴️ 1. Confidence! Do you struggle with self-confidence? Lifting is a great way to solve that! Trust us, hit a PR and see what that does to your confidence, not just in the gym, but in other areas of your life! Lifting can also reduce anxiety, relieve depression, and simply make you feel good! Win, win!🎉
✴️ 2. Increased strength! Seems obvious, but this is a huge reason to lift weights. Imagine how it will feel to be able to carry those heavy groceries, bags of mulch or pet food, moving boxes, or rearrange furniture on your own! Plus, we lose 3% to 5% of our muscle mass for every decade after 30. Fight that loss by working your muscles! Added benefits: prevent injury and the bone loss that hits as we age. 💪
✴️ 3. Cut fat! We know this, but it's a good reminder: muscle burns more calories than fat. Ramp up your metabolism by lifting regularly, at least 2-3 days a week. Also, muscle is dense, so one pound of fat takes up less space than a pound of fat.😉
✴️ 4. Build your brain! Yes, it's true! Lifting heavy weights stimulates the production of many hormones, including IGF-1, which stimulates connections in the brain, enhancing cognitive function. There have been studies done that positively link leg strength with overall brain strength and a mind that is less susceptible to the negative effects of aging. In other words, we lift so we don't lose our minds. 😉😜💪
In conclusion, we lift. We lift heavy, we lift regularly. It works. 💪🎉
