💪 Fitness Friday: 5 Reasons Women NEED to Strength Train (At Every Age)
Let’s talk about something way more important than looking toned... It’s about building strength that supports your whole life.
Here’s why strength training is one of the BEST things you can do for your body, especially as a woman:
1️⃣ Stronger Bones - Did you know 1 in 2 women over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis? Strength training helps prevent that by boosting bone density now.
2️⃣ Fires Up Your Metabolism -More muscle = more calories burned at rest. It’s one of the most powerful tools for sustainable weight management (without extremes!).
3️⃣ Better Mental Health - Lifting 2–3x a week helps reduce anxiety, boost confidence, and even improve memory. YES, strength training is brain health too!
4️⃣ Hormone Support - From PMS to menopause, strength training helps balance cortisol and insulin, while supporting your natural estrogen/progesterone rhythm.
5️⃣ Protects Your Independence - Want to stay mobile and active as you age? Strength training keeps you strong, balanced, and capable for everything life throws at you.
✨ The goal isn’t to “lift heavy.” The goal is to stay healthy, mobile, and confident—now and in the future.
