8 Reasons You should Want To Get Fit And What You Can Do About It

1 Reduce Joint pain

Even studies with rheumatoid arthritis have shown reduction in pain. By becoming stronger individuals can reduce inflammation and help joints align and function better which has to bea good thing for those suffering.

2 Increase bone mineral density.

Strength training can increase bone density. By not progressing to heavier weights as we get stronger is one of the most common reasons why there are an increasingly amount of folk in hospital from pelvis fractures. Because muscle attaches to the bone, the more resistance the muscle is under, the more increase in bone mineral content.

3 Increase your metabolism.

The average adult has a reduction of their metabolic rate of 30 - 5% per decade of life. By adding 1.9kg of muscle our metabolism increases by 9%. Adults who take up weight training use more calories all day and decrease the likelihood of fat accumulation in the long-term.

4 Avoid muscle loss

After the age of 24 the average adult can lose up to 3.8kg of muscle every decade. Running or walking does not prevent the loss of muscle tissue. Only strength training will increase our muscle mass as we grow older.

5 Reduce body fat.

Because muscle is denser than body fat, it takes up less space. One of the biggest myths is that women will 'bulk up' by lifting weights - rubbish!! When women lose fat and gain muscle they become much trimmer and slender, if they want to push on and more intense then yes, they can bulk up but thats where good guides or fitness trainers come in.There are some really useful dvds I found on this site specifically for women which may help.

6 Reduce lower back pain.

Research has shown that strong lower back muscles are less likely to be injured than if you had weaker back muscles. Specific strength training exercises to the lumbar spine can decrease lower back pain in as little as 6 weeks but you must ensure you undertake a safe programme of weight training - this site has some free guide on this area.

7 Improve glucose control in type 2 diabetes

Adults with type 2 Diabetes have poor uptake of glucose. By lifting weights glucose metabolism can increase by 20% and helps with the symptons of this condition.

8 Reduce Joint pain

Even studies with rheumatoid arthritis have shown reduction in pain. By becoming stronger individuals can reduce inflammation and help joints align and function better and not run the risk of lon-term disability or injury.
