🕉️MINDFUL STRENGTH TRAINING CLASS🏋️♂️
Suitable for beginners, Those with Arthritis and anyone wishing to become stronger.
If you are a client of Ardor Wellbeing you will know that I always encourage strength training.
You might be wondering what it involves and where to begin.
This class is a gentle introduction to how to strengthen your body with simple techniques and shows you how to use your body in the correct form to prevent injury.
Benefits:
Strength training is especially beneficial for women, both for enhancing overall health and preventing physical weakness as they age. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits of strength training specifically for women, with a focus on preventing weakness:
💪 Benefits of Strength Training for Women
🦴 1. Prevents Muscle Loss and Weakness
* Women naturally lose muscle mass with age (sarcopenia).
* Strength training preserves and builds lean muscle, preventing physical weakness, especially after age 30.
🧬 2. Boosts Metabolism and Helps Manage Weight
* Muscle burns more calories than fat, even at rest.
* Prevents weight gain and supports fat loss.
🦴 3. Improves Bone Health and Prevents Osteoporosis
* Resistance training stimulates bone growth.
* Reduces risk of fractures, especially after menopause when bone density tends to decrease.
🦵 4. Enhances Joint Stability and Mobility
* Strengthens muscles around joints (like knees, hips, and shoulders), improving support.
* Prevents joint pain and mobility issues later in life.
❤️ 5. Supports Heart and Metabolic Health
* Helps lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
* Reduces the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
🧠 6. Improves Mental Health and Confidence
* Boosts mood and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.
* Builds confidence in physical ability and body image.
🛡️ 7. Increases Functional Strength
* Makes daily tasks (lifting, climbing stairs, carrying groceries) easier and safer.
* Reduces risk of falls and improves balance and coordination.
🧓 8. Promotes Healthy Aging and Independence
* Maintains strength, balance, and mobility into older age.
* Delays or prevents the need for assisted living.
