Heavy training of female weightlifters for Asian competitions

Weight Training for Women

As you age, you start losing muscle which can cause health problems and injuries. An example is a person who is more sedentary and then becomes prone to back injuries because they don’t have the supportive muscles they need to stabilize their spine. What’s also concerning is as you age, your bones, heart, joints and other body parts start weakening with inactivity. Another problem is the gender gap. Weightlifting is historically viewed as an activity for men. However, women also need to stay strong and even if you’re a homemaker, fitness and strength training are important. Regular exercise can increase your lifespan. It also means you can pick up your kids or grab those groceries without the risk of injury.
