Women on Weights
Strength training - including weight lifting - and the use of resistance equipment offers women a host of positive health benefits from increasing bone density and building strength to fighting heart disease. Plus, women can see results by strength training as little as twice a week for 20 minutes.
Women who participate in WoW class will experience:
- Increased metabolic rate - burn more calories in less time!
- Increased bone density - vital to reducing osteoperosis.
- Improved balance - better daily function and less risk of injury.
- Reduced risk of heart disease - strength training can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
- Improved strength - do more in less time!
- Enhanced weight loss - continue to burn calories for 2 hours after your workout!
