When we talk to women about strength training, we often hear that they are afraid of getting huge muscles. Ladies, rest assured, you don't have enough muscle-building hormones to start looking like a Schwarzenegger. Strength training not only makes you physically stronger, it also gives you more self-confidence and helps prevent all kinds of illnesses and ailments. In this blog we give you five reasons to start ironing. Especially as a woman.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Better posture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We're a bit off today. Especially now that working from home is fully established, we roll from one Teams meeting to another Google meet and we no longer even have to move from meeting room to meeting room. The ideal recipe for bad posture and neck, shoulder and back problems. Strength training helps you improve your posture. Of course that won't happen today or tomorrow, but it does provide a long-term and permanent solution. A stronger torso ensures that you have a better posture all day long. Suffering from chronic back pain? Even then the\u00a0chance big<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that you suffer less from your pain by doing strength training.<\/p>\n

2. More positive self-image<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In\u00a0Psychology Magazine<\/a><\/span>\u00a0we read that research shows that sport is an effective way to get a more positive self-image. Strength training leads to greater satisfaction than cardio. Strength training even appears to be a good addition to the treatment of depression\u00a0from research<\/a><\/span>\u00a0turned out.<\/p>\n

3. Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Exercise lowers the risk of glucose intolerance, obesity, elevated cholesterol and high blood pressure\u00a0writes epidemiologist Esm\u00e9e Bakker<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in her dissertation, for which she will receive her doctorate on 4 March at Radboudumc. You really don't have to spend hours on the irons for that: even if you do strength training for less than an hour a week, the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced by almost thirty percent. So quite an effect.<\/p>\n

4. More confidence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To stay with Schwarzenegger for a moment, in his\u00a0book Total Recall<\/a><\/span>\u00a0he wrote: 'Strength training is the best way to build self-confidence.' If you train under good supervision, you will see progress in every strength training, which is not the case with any other sport. Not only do you become physically stronger, the dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin produced during strength training also make you happier. Strength training stimulates the production of hormones that make you feel good.<\/p>\n

5. It helps prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Type 2 diabetes is caused by being overweight, eating too much and too much fat or exercising too little, in combination with a hereditary predisposition. You can't change that hereditary predisposition, but you can change the rest. By avoiding sugary drinks, limiting red meat and processed meat such as processed meats, eating lots of whole grain products, vegetables and fruit and by including yogurt in your daily diet, you can, according to\u00a0the Nutrition Center<\/a><\/span>\u00a0reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. But there's more you can do. Scientists\u00a0discovered<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that people with diabetes can also benefit from regular weight lifting or strength training. Research in it\u00a0Internal Journal of Cardiology<\/a><\/span>\u00a0even shows that strength training may be more beneficial for blood sugar regulation than cardio in people with type 2 diabetes. The best results are \u2013 of course \u2013 achieved when strength training is combined with cardio.<\/p>\n
