Benefits of Strength Training
-
Strength training helps regulate hormones, which is crucial for women facing issues like PCOS, menopause, and postpartum hormone fluctuations. By engaging in regular resistance exercises, you can improve insulin sensitivity, reduce androgen levels, and stabilize your overall hormonal balance.
-
Strength training is a natural antidepressant. It boosts endorphin levels, which enhance mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. For moms dealing with the stresses of parenting, these endorphins can be a lifeline, providing mental clarity and emotional resilience.
-
Building muscle through strength training increases your resting metabolic rate, meaning you burn more calories even when you're not working out. This is especially beneficial for moms looking to manage their weight post-pregnancy and maintain a healthy body composition.
-
Strength training increases bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. This is particularly important for women as they age, as hormonal changes can lead to bone density loss. By lifting weights, you can ensure your bones stay strong and healthy.
-
Everyday tasks become easier when your body is strong. Whether it’s lifting your kids, carrying groceries, or doing household chores, strength training enhances your overall functional strength, making daily activities less strenuous and reducing the risk of injury.
-
Regular strength training can improve the quality of your sleep. Exercise helps regulate your sleep patterns, leading to deeper, more restful sleep. For moms, better sleep means more energy and patience to tackle the challenges of parenting.
-
As you see your strength and fitness improve, your self-confidence will naturally increase. Achieving fitness goals can empower you and provide a sense of accomplishment, boosting your overall self-esteem and body image.
-
Strength training improves cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure, improving cholesterol levels, and enhancing circulation. This reduces the risk of heart disease, which is a leading health concern for women.
-
Strength training helps regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity. This is crucial for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes, and it also aids in maintaining steady energy levels throughout the day.
-
For new moms, strength training can aid in postpartum recovery by rebuilding muscle strength, improving posture, and addressing common postpartum issues like diastasis recti. It helps you regain your physical strength and supports a quicker, healthier recovery.
As a mom who had two kids back to back, struggled with mental health, and finding proper weight management, I believe that all women should be strength training and moving more. There are too many benefits to it, that there is no reason not to be doing it. My expertise includes, but is not limited to, exercise for weight loss, free weights, machines, barbell exercises, increasing strength & power, growing confidence in the gym, and building self-esteem.
As an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, whether you are pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding, or a woman/mom not in any of those stages, I meet you where you are at, and tailor your program to you and your levels & capabilities.
