Welcome to #3 in a series of microblogs about the benefits of strength training.
I’m so passionate about how more strength training can improve the quality of our lives that I’m putting together a new Muscle Define Program that will begin in mid-March and run for 10 weeks.
Maybe you are already “hell yeah” to participating without further encouragement, but if you need a little nudging, here's another benefit to strength training for you to consider.
Strength Training Benefit #3 – It Improves Brain Health
Those who engage in strength training may have better brain health and protection against age-related cognitive decline.
Studies in older adults have pointed to significant improvements in memory after participating in strength training compared with those who did not participate.
In recent studies, resistance training resulted in neuroprotective effects, such as increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. BDNF is linked to memory and learning.
This is the final microblog on the benefits of strength training for now but there are so many more benefits!
If you want to spend 10 weeks building muscle and observing the benefits it brings for you, use the buttons below to sign up. We start on March 17.
P.S. Can you do me a HUGE favor and share this with anyone you know who might be interested? Thank you!
