TRAINING
My training style is focused around strength training. The primary goal of strength training is to increase muscle size and strength. Being strong and having more muscle mass isn’t just about how we look. As we get older, our muscle mass and bone density decrease, leaving us more susceptible to injury and long-term health issues such as osteoporosis. This is especially important for people experiencing pregnancy and menopause.
BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING
-
Good for our hearts and improves our cardiovascular health.
-
Improves our joint health by strengthening the muscles around our joints and providing greater stability and reducing the risks of joint related conditions like arthritis.
-
Boosts our mental wellbeing by releasing endorphins which promote feelings of happiness and reduce stress and anxiety.
-
Improves our sleep quality and sleep patterns.
-
Helps maintain a healthy weight – having more muscle mass can increase your metabolic rate which means you will burn more calories when resting.
