Most of us are aware of the fact that as we age our bodies start to slow and break down. Bone density and body temperature regulation diminishes, basal metabolic rate and blood sugar tolerance slow down, muscle and motor nerves deteriorate, body fat, cholesterol levels and blood pressure rises, aerobic capacity and muscle mass deteriorate. The good news is you can actually reverse all ten of these bio-markers of ageing with a healthy, balanced weight training routine.
Just like aerobic training there are many options when it comes to weight training but similarly choosing an activity you enjoy and that works for your body dynamics is the best way to achieve success long term.
With any new physical activity it is important not to assume that you will automatically have the skills needed to perform the exercises effectively and safely so always seek advice from a highly skilled professional when first getting started.
