7. You’ll Speed Up Your Metabolism Conclusion
The less muscle you have, the slower your
metabolism will be. As we age, we lose
muscle at increasing rates, especially after
the age of 40. If you have never done
resistance training and you die, up to 25%
of the weight loss may be muscle loss. If
you start training with weight and combine
it with dieting, you can preserve and even
rebuild your muscle fibres. The more lean
mass you have, the higher your
metabolism will be and the more calories
you’ll burn all day long. As you can see, weight lifting has a
tremendous amount of benefits for
women! We feel and look better when we
train with weights, and our overall quality
of life improves. You should realise by
now, that weightlifting is not exclusive to
women or men, but it’s for everybody who
wants to improve their lives!

Confident

children, lifting grocery bags and picking

no problem doing all of those things.

training can make you 50% stronger in

having more power is very empowering
feeling. It will not only improve your
physical activities but also will build
emotional strength by boosting self-
esteem and confidence. It also builds
character as to build muscle long-term you
have to be dedicated and disciplined.

muscle or even compete as a competitor,

things you can do not only for yourself but
also for the people around you.

can help others grow, and that is all that
matters.
