why women should lift weights

Unlock the Secret to a Lean, Strong, and Fit Body: The Ultra Fit Way!

Hey ladies…forget everything you’ve heard about weight loss and fitness. Aerobic classes, Zumba, and traditional cardio exercises (like those dreadfully boring treadmills) are NOT the keys to achieving a lean, strong, and healthy body. The real game-changers? ULTRA FIT and an ULTRA FIT Trainer/Coach.

Why weight training over cardio? Well, I will tell you

For years, women have been told that aerobic exercises are the best way to lose weight. We were directed towards stair climbers, treadmills, and stationary bikes. But why? Could it be because these machines are the priciest and bring in billions annually? Regardless, despite countless hours of cardio, our nation faces more weight-related health issues than ever before.

Here's the reality:

Many women (and men) miss out on the true benefits of weight resistance training due to common myths. The biggest one? “If I lift weights, I’ll bulk up and look like a bodybuilder.” This couldn’t be further from the truth! Women simply don’t have enough testosterone, the hormone responsible for significant muscle growth, to bulk up easily. Building a lot of muscle would require hours of intense training, a high-calorie diet, and even anabolic steroids – something most of us aren’t doing.

Why Women Need Weight Training:

Boost Metabolism: Lean muscle tissue burns 25% more calories than fat tissue. More muscle means a higher metabolism and more calories burned.
Break Plateaus: If you’ve hit a weight loss plateau despite hours of cardio, switching to weight training can help you break through.
Stronger Bones: Weight training helps build stronger bones, protecting against osteoporosis.
Better Quality of Life: Everyday tasks like gardening, carrying groceries, or playing with kids become easier and more enjoyable.
Combat Arthritis: Strength training has been shown to benefit individuals with certain types of arthritis.
