Exercise is a must for a healthy mind and body. Everyone knows cardio is a must for a healthy mind and body, but did you know weightlifting and resistance training is another must for a healthier body.
Weight training improves bone density, lean muscle tissue, strength of muscles and tendons, and it helps you maintain your weight or burn more calories.
Weight training isn't only for men. That's right, ladies it is time to grab some weights and bust out a few reps. It is impossible to get as bulky as a man without taking steroids or other testosterone boosting supplements, so you don't have to fear lifting heavy.
Another bonus from weight training is that it actually helps you burn more fat. It burns calories to do the exercises and after your body continues to burn calories to heal the muscle fibers. So, why wouldn't you want to lift weights?
When I can't get to the gym, I use 8 lb weights for my arms, 15 lb weight when squatting and resistance bands for everything else. these three items can make any space like a gym. There is so much you can do with free weights and resistance bands that you'll never get bored or need a gym membership.
