I have spoken with several people over the years, and their resistance to weight lifting baffles me. In addition to the FACT that lifting weights will increase weight loss goals as well as strength goals, There are several Fit For Life objectives that are not only improved with weight training, but are nearly impossible without it. To help support my message, I have found and shared the findings of several leaders in our industry, as well as the Medical Profession. Without resistance exercises to strengthen muscles and bones, most people face a midlife slide into flabbiness and its associated ills. And as we age, strength training becomes even more important to offset age-related declines in muscle and bone mass that can lead to frailty and fracture the primary reason older adults wind up in nursing homes. Healing Moves by Carol Krucoff and Mitchell Krucoff MD, page 144 Osteoporosis. Bone-thinning osteoporosis can lead to fractures, especially hip fractures, a major medical problem for the elderly. One way to maintain strong, healthy bones is to get plenty of calcium. Certain kinds of exercise, including strength training, also help keep bones healthy. In addition, weight training helps prevent fractures by strengthening the leg muscles, contributing to improved balance and decreasing the likelihood of falls, the cause of most fractures in the elderly. Natures Cures by Michael Castleman, page 452 Because nine out of 10 hip fractures result from falls, engaging in activities that increase strength and balance helps decrease the risk. strength training is one of the best ways to increase bone density in the spine naturally and prevent falls. Overdosed America by John Abramson MD, page 219 Postmenopausal women are at the greatest risk for brittle bones Men also can have brittle bones, but women especially thin women who are past menopause are at greater risk. If you're thin, you have less weight bearing down on your bones during normal activity, and that means your bones will weaken faster. It's particularly important for you to start a regular program of weight-bearing exercises such as walking, jogging, or strength training. Studies have found gardening is also good at pumping up your bones so if you enjoy that activity, keep it up. The fresh air and sunshine are an added bonus. Eat and Heal by the Editors of FC&A Medical Publishing, page 278 In closing, aerobic exercise is great, but its far from the only method that you need to utilize for optimum health and quality of life. See a trainer if you need some help implementing some strength training into your routine.
