life feels younger when we move...
Did you know?
Recent studies on a group of senior adults has shown that regular resistance training 2-3 times per week can actually reverse age related muscle loss.
So ladies, by attending Ladies Active 2-3 times per week, for just 30 minutes, not only will you help to tighten tone and shape your physique, but you can actually help to slow down and reverse the signs of ageing!!
Take a few seconds to consider strength training from a practical perspective – Make it a priority and you will be enhancing your ability to live independently and lead a full and active life well into the future. Resistance training improves functional strength, which can help keep you safe in your daily activities and make you less vulnerable to falls or other injuries.
If you lose muscle mass, you lose strength, which can lead to falls, and possibly injury or fracture. If we become sedentary, this then impacts on cardiovascular fitness making it even harder to move.
If the above isn’t enough to begin you’ll also decrease your risk of Osteoporosis. Research has found that strength training can increase spinal bone mineral density (and enhance bone modeling) by 13 percent in six months. This, coupled with an adequate amount of dietary calcium, can be a women’s best defense against osteoporosis.
What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis means “porous bones” or thinning of the bones so that they become more fragile and break more easily. Osteoporosis is not painful at an early stage and is often undiagnosed until a fracture occurs, commonly at the wrist, spine or hip.
How much strength training is enough?
Ladies who strength train at least 2-3 times a week will begin to feel the benefits of resistance training within 4-6 weeks. Resistance training is especially important for ladies in thier later years, who potentially can lose up to a half-pound of muscle mass every year.
A little message from the owner Paul Venning,
To maintain the highest possible service, standards and results for our members, we’ve invested heavily in the highest-grade equipment, which is not offered anywhere within the Southwest. I invite ladies of all ages and abilities to come along and try them out...
Why is the Ladies Active fitness program so gentle and effective on the female body?
