In a world where even opening a pickle jar feels like a Herculean feat, we need all the help we can get. Cue strength training – the superhero serum for everyday folk looking to conquer the chaos of modern life.
According to some really smart folks in white lab coats (probably), training with resistance doesn't just make you feel like Thor; it also gives you the strength to move mountains, or at least carry a week's worth of groceries without breaking a sweat. Think about it: lifting a bag of dog food, picking up a kid or hoisting your best friend's couch up three flights of stairs (because they "forgot" to mention the elevator was out) – these are the real-life challenges that separate the strong from the weak. And let's not forget about sports. Whether you're a weekend pickle-ball warrior or a die-hard golfer, strength training is the secret weapon that will have you undoubtedly out-pickling and driving your friends.
But don't strength training programs 'bulk you up,' and make your favorite pair of jeans not fit anymore? Absolutely not. Men and women typically have to lift extremely heavy weights, most days a week, over a long period of time, to see a size increase from strength training. In fact, a well designed strength program that uses whole body core movements with resistance bands, 20-30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, will increase your lean muscle mass and boost your metabolism. If you couple that with sensible eating throughout your day and watch the alcohol, you will see a noticeable difference after 30 days.
But wait, there's more! Strength training isn't just about toned arms and chiseled abs (although those are nice too). It's also a mental game-changer. According to a study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies, individuals that engage in strength training experience significant improvements in mental well-being, including reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. So conquering those last few reps not only builds biceps, it can next level your happiness.
