It's never too early or too late to start strength training.

Lift heavy and stay strong! 

These are just some examples of exercises but the idea is to use weights that feel challenging for you.

Strength training can improve your health in the following ways:

* SUPPORTS HORMONAL BALANCE * testosterone, estrogen, progesterone levels continuously change throughout different stages of life and levels fluctuate significantly from the ages of 35 to 65, especially for females. Symptoms of excessive fatigue, water retention/bloating, difficulty falling asleep, headaches/migraines, hair loss and more may be the result of hormonal imbalance.

* MAINTAIN BONE DENSITY * you reach your peak bone density around the ages of 20-25; the rest of your life is about maintaining bone density as much as possible to avoid osteoporosis and osteopenia by doing resistance training and maintaining calcium levels. Bone maintains its strength and density when it experiences mechanical stress through strong contractions of skeletal muscles ("Wolff's Law"). Use it or lose it! 

* PREVENT SARCOPENIA * from the age of 30 onwards, both men and women begin to lose muscle mass at a faster rate, with the rate increasing per decade of life lived. Both men and women therefore need to lift weights that are heavy enough to stimulate muscle hypertrophy as well as consume higher amounts of protein with age.

* REDUCE INSULIN RESISTANCE & FAT MASS *
Having a higher percentage of muscle mass compared to fat mass allows for storage of excess glucose in muscles in the form of glycogen which can then be used by muscles to perform work. Without adequate muscle mass, excess glucose stays in the bloodstream which can lead to high blood glucose and if chronically elevated, Diabetes, or it is taken up by fat cells, increasing fat mass.

* PREVENT FALLS * 
According to WHO, falls are the second leading cause of unintentional deaths worldwide. Lifting heavy weights promotes the growth of Type II muscle fibres which allow you to react quickly to regain stability and balance caused by unexpected perturbations. 27/06/2025

These quick exercises will take less than 3 minutes to feel fantastic if you've been working for a few hours at a desk. You can even stay seated while you do them but I would recommend standing up and making the most of it!

πŸͺ‘ Get up offa that thing! πŸͺ‘

Movement. So good for the body. And so good for the mind.

To reinvigorate your working day, to feel less stiff and sore and have more energy for the fun stuff after work, it’s really simple. Keep moving. Little and often. Your concentration will improve and your body will thank you.
