Benefits of Weight-Training: What Can You Expect?

• You can expect to experience weight-loss and an increase in your metabolism. While aerobic training does burn calories, the effects are short-lived. Weight-training, on the other hand, has a lasting effect and enables you to burn fat at rest (the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn at rest).
• You can expect that previously soft muscle tissue will become firm and toned.
• You can expect significant cardiovascular changes that can help decrease your risk of heart disease and stroke.
• You can expect your blood-pressure to decrease.
• You can expect a reduced risk of Type 2 Diabetes.
• You can expect improvements in your bone density. Weight-training keeps bones firm and strong and decreases your chance of developing osteoporosis.
• You can expect an increase in your energy levels.
• You can expect to experience an overall “happy” feeling. The endorphins released in your body during weight-training are mood-elevators.
• You can expect improvements in your posture.
• You can expect improvements in your balance and coordination.
• You can expect an increase in your strength.
• You can expect improvements in your general body appearance.
• You can expect a heightened sense of self-confidence and self-esteem.
• You can expect a reversal of your aging process.
