Why Strength Training Is the Missing Link in Your Health Journey

@reneediment

You don’t need more cardio.

You don’t need to eat less.

You need strength.

For so long, women (and many men!) have been told that staying healthy means endless running, LOW calorie counting, and squeezing into smaller clothes.

But here’s the truth: strength training is the most effective, sustainable way to change your body — and your health — for life.

The Benefits of Strength Training Go Way Beyond Muscle

Whether you’re lifting dumbbells, bodyweight, or barbells — resistance training can:

• Improve your metabolism and help regulate blood sugar

• Support hormone health and bone density

• Build lean muscle, which burns more calories at rest

• Increase confidence, reduce anxiety, and boost energy

• Improve posture and help reduce back/pelvic pain

And no — it won’t make you bulky. It will make you feel more you than ever.

How Often Should I Strength Train?

If you’re wondering how to fit it in, start here:

• 2x per week = maintenance & foundational health

• 3x per week = noticeable body composition changes, strength gains, and improved mood

• 4x per week = accelerated results (if recovery, food, and sleep are aligned)

You don’t have to train every day. You just need consistency and a program that meets you where you’re at.

Why It’s Especially Important as You Age

After age 30, we start losing 3–8% of our muscle mass each decade if we’re not actively training.

That loss leads to:

• Lower strength and balance

• Increased injury risk

• Slower metabolism and weight gain

• Hormonal disruptions and fatigue

But strength training flips the script. It’s your longevity tool, not just a short-term fix.
