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.

• Increased metabolic rate - burn more calories in less time!

• Improved balance - better daily function and less risk of injury.
• Reduced risk of heart disease - strength training can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
