While most women who exercise seem to spend most of their time on cardiovascular exercises, there are many reasons to strength train with PowerBlock Sport 2.4 Adjustable Dumbbells. First of all you will become physically stronger, which will help your daily tasks and chores. Research studies have shown that even moderate weight training can increase a woman’s strength by 30% to 50%.
Studies that were performed by Wayne Wescott, PhD, found that the average woman who strength trains 2 to 3 times a week for at least 2 months will gain nearly 2 lbs of muscle and will lose 3.5 lbs of fat. By increasing your lean muscles, you will also increase your resting metabolism, which help you burn more calories all day long. For every pound of muscle you gain, you burn 35 to 50 more calories each day and that will really add up.
