Strength training has many functional benefits for women of all ages. Here are a few of our favorites:
1. Strength training tones your muscles, which not only looks great, but also raises your basal metabolism which causes you to burn more calories in 24 hrs. You'll even burn calories while you're sleeping!
2. Weight training energizes you.
3. Weight training can reverse the natural decline in your metabolism which begins around age 30.
4. Weight training has a positive effect on over 650 muscles in your body!
5. Weight training will NOT develop "big muscles" on women... just toned muscles!
