'Weight' and See! Max 21 Fitness 's Top Reasons Why Women Need Strength Training

Happy Monday, Max 21 Fitness fanatics!

Did you know? A recent study reveals that 83% of women DON'T lift weights...That's a lot of fitness gurus who are missing out on an important part of exercise! Research now shows that pumping iron 2 days a week (at Pure Living Fitness in Glendora, CA of course) can decrease back pain by 18% after just 16 weeks. Women with back problems who started lifting weights 4 times a week reported a whopping 42% improvement in their back pain after 4 months of strength training. This study alone is a fantastic reason all of us should head to the gym (or do a Max 21 Fitness session at home) for some light to moderate weight-lifting!

Here are 5 more reasons women should do strength training:

1. Taking classes like yoga or Rhumba may not be challenging enough for your muscles.

2. Strength training revs up your metabolism!

3. Weight training makes you more flexible!

4. Weightlifting can help you maintain your bone mass--maybe even more than taking calcium supplements!

5. You'll build strength that will help prevent common aches and pains that women between 30-50 typically experience after a workout.
