Going strong
Women of all ages are increasingly turning to
strength training for improved fitness
T
here's a misconception that lifting
weights equals bulking up. It's no
wonder so many women dodge
dumbbells for cross trainers. But
strength training, or resistance training as it's
also known, offers a wealth of benefits - and it's
never too late to start.
As early as their 30s, women begin to lose
muscle mass. This decline accelerates during
perimenopause and beyond. When those
muscles aren't being regularly used, they can
weaken, leading to a permanent loss of muscle
cells. Strength training can delay these effects, or
even reverse the consequences of inactivity, by
working muscles at a high capacity.
Here's why strength training is a powerhouse
for women at every age.
1
Metabolism: As muscle mass declines, our
bodies burn fewer calories at rest. Strength
training increases lean muscle mass and triggers
a post-workout calorie burn that continues for
hours after finishing exercising.
2
Future health issues: Not only does this
low-impact form of exercise improve
cardiovascular health, it strengthens joints with
a lower risk of injury compared to high-impact
activities. It also reduces the risk of chronic
conditions such as osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes
and heart disease.

Wellbeing: Beyond the short-term endorphin
rush that follows a workout, the act of
building physical strength has a positive impact
on mental resilience. It empowers us to approach
daily life with more confidence and emotional
strength. It also helps regulate hormones,
improving sleep quality and helping to reduce
stress and anxiety over time.
4
Mobility and functionality: Strength training
boosts flexibility, helps maintain good
posture and enhances overall body mechanics.
It allows everyone to move more freely and stay
supple - crucial for daily activities and long-term
independence as our bodies age.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Strength training can be incorporated into
various workouts that you might not expect,
from spin classes and barre workouts to
Reformer Pilates and yoga. Combing dynamic
movements and bodyweight exercises helps to
build muscle and increase strength in a way that
feels more accessible to most.
