WEIGHT TRAINING

WEIGHT TRAINING

We, specially females or any specific sports people, often ignore the benefits of weight training.
There is a misconception among females that weight training would make them look bulky and muscular.
One must include weight training in their fitness schedule.

I had been into weight training(moderate level) since last 8 years and have experience immense magical benefits out of it. One of them is my knee strengthening.

My knees were finished after the delivery of my first baby.

Inspite of me being a regular sports person in my school and college time, I had suffered major knee strength loss after I conceived with my first baby.

The reason being several:
Unawareness towards weight monitoring
Munching on too much of food as a result of craving
Not being active in terms of fitness training, may be being my first pregnancy and lack of right guidance.

Resulting the above, I had gained a lot of weight (90kg) which unknowingly damaged my knees.

After I started practicing weight training for different body parts along with my legs and knees, I was magically benefitted and my knees felt much better.

Below, I am summarising few of the major weight training benefits here so that I can spread awareness for the weights.

1. It's a great support in your Daily Functions, therefore I term weight training as FUNCTIONAL WORKOUTS, if done with moderate and varied weights.
2. It improves your BONE DENSITY. One of the biggest reasons you must weight train to prevent bone loss.
3. It helps in building a FAT-FREE-BODY-MASS. If we don't commit on weight training, the lean muscle mass converts into fat.
4. It increases MUSCLE-STRENGTH and helps in INJURY PREVENTION.
5. It increases your METABOLISM and helps in WEIGHT-LOSS.
It increases FLEXIBILITY over the period of time
