8 reasons to work out that AREN’T weight loss

A while ago I conducted a non-scientific (but still eye-opening!) poll. I asked a bunch of people who had a regular workout routine WHY they exercised.A lot of these people were in their 60s, 70s, and beyond, and most of them had been working out for decades.

Their answer: The mood and mental health benefits! 

There is REAL science to back that up. We usually associate cardio with lifting your spirits, but it turns out strength training is also a MAJOR mood and mental health booster.

Studies show that strength training can help with:

  • Less anxiety
  • Lower depression
  • Sharper thinking
  • Better memory
  • More energy & less chronic fatigue
  • Better sleep
  • More confidence and self-esteem
  • Plus an even longer list of physical health benefits

Still, if you’ve never tried strength training before, getting started can seem a little intimidating.

We’d love to be part of your health/fitness journey!
