If you have ever wondered about why making the body work under resistance and tension through strength/weight training well, here is why: 


  1. Lifting weights gets rid of fat...WHAA?? So here it is, the more you lift the more muscle you will accumulate which leads to, yep, FAT BURN! and that is all you need to know, thank you for reading this blog post I will see you tomorrow...

YAAA Not so fast, You want more behind the wonderful world of weights right??
    
      2.     As some of you know I have depression so if there is anything I can attest to its the fact that it helps reduce the bleh that it comes with.  Believe it or not the tension and release of tension by the muscle gets your body to release lots of fun hormones in the brain! (yoga and any aerobic activity is good for this too). I guess you could liken it to the feeling as a kid when you would bury your head in a pillow and scream... AHHHHH >;( and then ahhh :D felt good right, so weight lift, it will feel 189364735284692x better that any best feeling...yes even with the burn and struggle. Pain is temporary anyways (be sure that its the good pain not the "I think I broke a bone pain" though)


       3. Speaking of breaking bones, weightlifting helps to protect from those types of injuries and others too.  As we age we are going to lose bone density and muscle mass, studies show aboiut 1 pound of muscle loss every year after age 30 (NOO NOT MY GAINSS)... So lifting weights puts the muscles and bones under stress, and what is our body's natural reaction to stress? ADAPT!! Adaptation=survival (science) 
So your body will begin to get stronger, deposit more bone, and build more muscle WOO! 


        4. No doubt that weight lifting will improve your balance, athleticism, endurance, coordination, and in turn overall performance.  If you are a volleyball player (hey that's me) and you decide to squat under tension then your base will be better, you will jump higher, be lighter on your feet, be more explosive, stronger, and be able to stay low and get low much easier and longer!


     5. Mental Strength is going to play a huge role in your fitness journey but as you know it affects your daily life as well.  You will push the limits in the the gym and make yourself better by stepping outside of your comfort zone! 


     6.  Aesthetics baby! You are going to be lookin so good! Looks aren't everything of course but it is a lie to say we do not care at all! We all want to look in the mirror and be content with what we see.  I know I struggle with body image but training to be better everyday is motivational and rewarding!  Plus there is body comfort in aesthetics, I hated the feeling of fat on the side of my hips just shakin in the car and now it is a much more comfortable ride! 
               a. If you are thinking you will get bulky as a woman I will be very upset with you.  It is extremely difficult to change the body as it is.  Putting on muscle is not some rapid process that just happens over night.  You will not get bulky or manly unless you train tirelessly with that goal in mind or start taking HGH, Testosterone, and other steroids. Even then it will be difficult because of how our bodies are built, hello..estrogen, nuff said for now.  maybe that will be a blog rant...


      7.  And a million other things. This could go on forever, especially with my own personal beliefs and benefits I have reaped from starting my fitness lifestyle! Just gotta go out and lift the weights, not knowing how is an excuse and so is not having time, you have to learn how and make time.
