Top 10 Benefits of Strength Training for Women

by Lynn VanDyke

"Women are finally warming up to free weights, and it is a beautiful thing!" states Lynn VanDyke, owner of http://strength-training-woman.com. It's true that women are recognizing strength training as a major player in the battle against fat loss. Here are the top 10 benefits women receive from strength training:

1) Increased Metabolic Rate- adding muscle increases our metabolism naturally.

2) Increasing and Restoring Bone Density- prevent and fight osteoporosis by building strong bones.

3) Increased Lean Muscle Mass- each pound of lean muscle mass burns 35-50 calories per day.

4) Injury Prevention- a solid foundation strengthens our bones, ligaments, and tendons.

5) Improved Balance- strong leg and core muscles help stabilize us.

6) Decreased Risk of Coronary Disease- strength training can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

7) Aids Rehabilitation and Recovery- the best way to strengthen and recover from an injury is to slowly build your strength around the injured area.

8) Enhanced Performance in Sports, Exercise and Life In General- climbing stairs, carrying the kids, or walking with your spouse becomes more enjoyable.

9) Aging Gracefully- strong muscles build a strong body. Strength training and fitness can help keep aging bodies in well-working condition.

10) Feeling Better and Looking Better- strength training reduces overall body fat, it tones our muscles and it builds confidence.

These top 10 benefits all come for free when you begin a proper strength training routine. Be sure to check with your doctor before beginning any new fitness program.

Melt the Fat

Melt The Fat Book Cover

Melt the Fat is truly for anyone that wants to get serious about losing fat and gaining a healthier and happier life. I never push any supplements or diets. It is a real program that deals directly with each reader.

It will help people who want to get in shape, but do not know where to start or simply feel overwhelmed with all the information out there. It is also the perfect program for people who are too embarrassed or hate going to the gym. It's great for people who want the safe and sound advice of a personal trainer and fitness nutritionist, but cannot afford to pay for one.

The Melt the Fat program fills a massive void in the fitness industry. It joins only a few other programs/ebooks that simply explain how to lose fat WITHOUT supplements, shakes, or promotional hype. It is also one of the few programs designed by a certified personal trainer and nutritionist. This is not a product put out into the market to increase a company's supplement or diet program revenue.

This isn't your "average fitness ebook" full of incomplete and hard to understand information. It includes everything you need to know in simple terms.

When you get your hands on Melt the Fat, you get a full fitness and nutrition program jam-packed with over 800 different meal suggestions and over 200 exercises from one of the internet's top elite fitness professionals, along with full cardio and strength training routines, motivation secrets and much more.
