Fountain of Youth

I truly believe that participating in a progressive resistance training program is the “Fountain of Youth”.

Only, instead of a quick sip and lightning from the sky transforming you to your glory days we have the monotony, consistency, and persistency of a small stream forging the Grand Canyon.

Look at these proven benefits of resistance training (I took this list from Brett Contreras; thank you for compiling it 🙂

 

1. Maintain functional ability

2. Prevent osteoporosis​

3. Prevent sarcopenia​

4. Increase insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin resistance

5. Increase metabolic rate

6. Improve glucose metabolism

7. Decrease systolic and diastolic blood pressure and arterial stiffness

8. Decrease body fat and central adiposity

9. Improve gastrointestinal transit time

10. Reduce the risk of diabetes

11. Reduce the risk of heart disease

12. Reduce the risk of cancer

13. Reduce the risk of falls, fractures, and disabilities

14. Decrease cardiovascular demands of exercise

15. Decrease triglyceride, total cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol levels

16. Increase HDL cholesterol levels

17. Increase muscle and connective tissue strength and hypertrophy​

18. Increase mobility and flexibility

19. Increase joint stability

20. Improve balance and coordination

21. Improve posture

22. Increase brain/cognitive function

28. Increase strength, power, speed, and endurance

29. Prevent ACL, hamstring strain, lumbar, ankle sprain, and shoulder injuries

30. Improve quality of life

And what’s crazy is that many, if not most of these benefits can be acquired with as little as 1 hour a week of resistance training for someone up to 80 years old!

It’s not too late to start and a little bit of effort – with consistency – goes a LONG way.
