When we talk about resistance training, many people often think of bodybuilding. However, this is just one of the many benefits of this type of training that has a profound and multifaceted impact on our physical and mental health. In the world of fitness trends, a constant factor is precisely resistance training, which is why I will focus on this aspect in this post.
More and more people are experiencing problems with everyday physical activities such as walking, sitting or standing up. To keep our bodies fit for such activities, resistance training becomes necessary.
When thinking about the benefits of this type of training, we highlight some important aspects:
1) Muscle building: Resistance training directly affects increasing muscle mass, which changes body proportions and improves strength and endurance.
2) Strengthening bones: Loading the body during exercise stimulates an increase in bone density, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
3) Reducing the risk of chronic diseases: Regular resistance training can reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions.
In addition to physical changes, it is important to also emphasize the positive effects on mental health:
1) Improved self-confidence: Achieving physical goals through resistance training can improve feelings of self-confidence and performance.
2) Improved mood: Regular exercise stimulates the production of happiness hormones such as dopamine and serotonin, which improves mood and reduces stress and anxiety.
3) Better sleep: Resistance training can improve the quality of sleep, which further supports mental well-being and overall well-being.
Considering all these benefits, it's clear why resistance training should be an essential part of our daily routine. Regardless of life situation, anyone who sincerely wants to achieve change can do so, with the support of a trainer and their own effort.
