Strength Training 101 for Women
This week we are delving into the topic of strength training. Today we'll look at why it's important and how many sessions you need in order to support your body to build and maintain muscle.
Strength training is important for women because it:
- Improves muscle mass
- Supports metabolism
- Increases bone density
- Burns calories
- Improves sleep
- More resilient to injury
- Improves confidence
It's recommended that women lift 2+ times a week. If you can incorporate more than twice a week that's excellent, but for most women starting resistance training 2x a week is a great place to begin.
