Strength training is one of the fastest growing segments of the
fitness industry market as more people – especially women
– recognize its multiple benefits. Beyond giving bodies beautiful
tone (not bulk!), strength training has many important health
benefits for women:
| • |
Higher metabolism. Strength training is an amazing way to
lose weight, since increasing your muscle mass naturally increases
your resting metabolic rate. For every additional pound of muscle
gained, your body burns around 35-50 extra calories each day.
On average, a woman who lifts weights three times a week for
two months will gain nearly 2 pounds of muscle and will lose
3.5 pounds of fat. |
| • |
Reduced risk of developing osteoporosis. Resistance exercise
can reduce bone deterioration and build bone mass, lowering
a women’s risk of osteoporosis. |
| • |
Reduced risk of injury. Strong muscles, tendons and ligaments
are much more capable of withstanding stress, and the improved
flexibility gained by strength training also reduces the likelihood
of pulled muscles and back pain. |
The Training Grip WristWrap® and other Harbinger fitness accessories
are available at most major, independent and specialty sporting
goods retailers, gyms and e-tailers nationwide. For specific store
