5 reasons for women to start with strength training

We really are all at least twice a week to do strength training. Yet, statistics show that only 30 percent of women (a sort of) strength train.

This despite the fact that you get a much better figure of strength training, and you also can lose weight much easier. If you still have doubts then I convince you with five reasons to start strength training:
1. 24-hour strength by afterburning

A major benefit of strength training is the so-called post-combustion: 24 hours long you keep 100 calories if you train your muscles well. This does not seem much, but on an annual basis it is still a few pounds quickly. The average woman will lose about as many pounds!

2. Muscle mass prevents type 2 diabetes

More and more people get diabetes because they eat poorly and little physical activity. Teaches that particular strength greatly helps combat diabetes, because muscle your blood sugar levels stabilize.
3. Lose weight by strength training

People often think that cardio mainly ensures that you lose weight. Now this is basically true, but remember that it's much better to get a smaller waist and more muscle mass, than simply pounds on the scale are lost. Strength training twice a week even ensures that your bodyfat decreases by 3 percent in 10 weeks.
4. Skip the light weights and high reps on

Many women fear that they have big muscles if they use heavier weights in the gym. That's why you often see women with very light weights to work, and then do many repetitions. This is not smart because you at first as a woman not easily get a muscular body, and secondly with heavier weights, you burn twice as many calories after the workout with lighter weights than you would burn.
5. Strength training creates stronger

Although it seems obvious: strength training makes you stronger. You forget that this is only quick with daily chores very handy! You also have much less chance of injuries such as sprains (source).
