Another Benefit to Resistance Training
Everyone wants the quick fix. From minimal time exercising to fast food. Then there’s the aerobic craze, by a video and dance in front of your T.V. set. While you might lose a few pound of fat, you also lose muscle tissue. I can’t say this enough add muscle increase metabolism. so not only do you lose muscle mass but eventually your metabolism will eventually begin to slacken.
Now about that benefit. The great thing is that it especially benefits a wide range of groups. That’s from mother’s that recently had babies to women after their menstruation. But the group it benefits most is the elderly. Not to mention every one over thirty. You see as we age just like your hormone levels begin to drop after thirty so does calcium production. Why do you think osteoporosis is so common as we get older.
If most people over thirty did resistance training coupled with a proper diet they wouldn’t need prescription medicines for their osteoporosis. By lifting weights you can stimulate your body to increase calcium production. Some of the systems in your body that use calcium are the heart, muscles, skeletal, the nervous system, the kidneys and the gastrointestinal system. Each of these systems demand a specific calcium balance, which are regulated by the calcium found in your blood, delivered by the circulatory system.
When these systems are low the blood takes calcium from your bones to maintain the calcium serum levels in the blood in order to service all those systems. Because of the relationship between the muscles and bones weight training stimulates your skeletal system to produce new calcium. By combining a proper diet with more than enough sources of dietary calcium and a good weight training routine everybody even the elderly can have a better and healthier lifestyle.
