Something Is Always Better Than Nothing
Happy December!
Did you know that strength training for just an hour a week can improve your health significantly?
You wouldn't think that an hour would make that big of a difference, but a recent study by Iowa State University shows that an hour of strength training per week can reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke by 40-70 percent.
Findings from this study prove that you do not need to meet the minimum guidelines for aerobic activity to achieve these benefits, but that strength training alone will improve your health immensely.
With just an hour a week you can also reduce your risk of metabolic syndrome by almost 30% and your risk of hypercholesterolemia by 32%.
Other benefits of pumping iron include:
How encouraging is it to hear that it doesn't take hours of heavy lifting to change your health for the better? In just an hour a week, half an hour twice a week, or 20 minutes 3 times a week, you can significantly improve the quality of your health and help to extend your life expectancy.
So something really is better than nothing! Investing just 10-20 minutes of time to strength training can make a world of difference!
