Getting Stronger to Live Longer!
January 30, 2008
I would like to encourage everyone, especially older individuals to come in and increase their strength. "But I don't want to be a powerlifter." "That's not for me, I'll just get hurt." These are 2 of the most common responses I get when I talk about the benefits of maintaining and increasing strength. Let me give you 5 reasons to get stronger. 1) Greater Autonomy- Maintaining leg and torso strength will help keep you mobile much later in life. If you can't get up out of your chair, lift groceries into your car and climb the stairs, your independence can slip away sooner than you think. 2) Enjoy the things you enjoy- Staying strong will allow you to remain active in all the past-times that keep you feeling young and alive. What if you couldn't play a round of golf, go for a hike, go swimming, work on your garden? 3) Better Mood- Exercise activities cause your body to release chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins help keep your mood positive and feeling vigorous. Increased strength also gives you great self confidence. 4)More Energy- The stronger you are, the easier everyday life becomes. Regular exercise also helps you sleep better and is a great stress reliever. 5) A Clear Mind- Exercise not only excites you body, but has been found to keep the mind sharp and clear. So how do you get on your way to getting stronger? It's important that you learn how to do it safely and effectively. Enlisting the guidance of a professional is a good starting point. One of our personal training packs is a sure shot to getting you on your way to a stronger body and an improved life. Next week I'll give you five more reasons to get strong. Stay tuned. Who's looking out for you?
