Weight Training for Heart Health ❤
⬜🏋️♀️⬜BREAKING NEWS: NEW STUDY! ⬜🏋️♀️⬜
Did you know that lifting weights appears to help fight off heart disease? In fact, it might be just as important as getting cardio exercise.
⬜⬜A study in the Journal: Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that working out with weights for about an hour a week, broken up into one to three sessions, can cut the risk of heart attack or stroke by up to 70%!
⬜⬜That’s even for people who didn’t get any “aerobic” — cardio — exercise. The study followed more than 12,500 people for almost 20 years.
⏰Working out longer or more often didn’t appear to add to the health benefits, according to this study.
⬜⬜The scientists believe resistance training helps reduce the risk of developing heart disease because it improves your body composition (leading to less fat and more muscle) and also cuts your risk of developing high cholesterol.
⬜⬜The takeaway? Not only can resistance training help shape your body, it’s important for your heart!
❓Ready to ditch the treadmill and try something new to shed pounds and get strong? I’m putting together a brand-new program starting Nov. 1, 2019. This is specifically for women 35-55 who are ready to lose fat, get strong & build confidence in the next 60 days. It’s a remote program so you can join from anywhere in the world.
I’m looking for 10 people to test it out at a HUGE DISCOUNT, help me work out the kinks, and get amazing results that I can use as a case study. If that’s you, message me with ‘tell me more’ below and I’ll share details about this exciting program.
Here’s the link if you want to check out the study abstract:
