The Incredible Benefits of Resistance Exercise
In a world that constantly emphasizes the importance of physical fitness and well-being, finding the most effective exercise regimen can be a challenging task. While cardiovascular workouts often steal the limelight, it's essential not to overlook the incredible benefits of resistance exercise. This type of training involves working against a force, such as lifting weights or using resistance bands, to strengthen and tone muscles. In this blog post, we will explore the numerous advantages of incorporating resistance exercise into your fitness routine.
Build Muscle Strength and Endurance:
One of the primary benefits of resistance exercise is its ability to build muscle strength and endurance. By consistently challenging your muscles with resistance, you stimulate the growth of muscle fibres. Over time, this leads to increased muscle strength and the ability to perform daily activities with ease. Whether it's lifting groceries, playing sports, or carrying your children, resistance exercise prepares your muscles to handle these tasks more effectively.
Enhances Bone Density
Resistance exercise not only strengthens muscles but also improves bone density. This is especially important for individuals at risk of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by reduced bone mass and increased fracture risk. The stress applied to the bones during resistance training stimulates the production of new bone tissue, leading to increased bone mineral density. Stronger bones contribute to improved posture, better balance, and reduced risk of fractures and injuries.
WHAT IS YOUR PELVIC FLOOR?
The pelvic floor muscles are situated at the base of the pelvis. They attach from the pubic bone at the front to the coccyx at the back, in a hammock-like formation. The pelvic floor muscles consist of both a superficial and deep layer.
When you activate your pelvic floor, you are squeezing both layers. The first part is where you squeeze like you’re trying to stop the flow of wind and urine (superficial), the second part is where you lift up like you’re about to lift up an imaginary tampon (deep).
The pelvic floor muscles are responsible for:
· Supporting the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum)
· Relaxing to expel urine, wind & faeces
· Contracting to hold in urine, wind & faeces
· Aiding in sexual function
· Working with deep core muscles to support the pressure in the abdominal cavity
Paying Attention to Tension Headaches
What is a tension headache?
Tension headaches are headaches caused by tension in the muscles and joints of your neck and upper back. These headaches usually involve dull pain that wraps around the head. They can also include different patterns of pain in the head and neck, as well as symptoms like dizziness and nausea.
