WHY LIFT

8/31/2021

0 Comments

 
​"Okay, I get it. Not everyone enjoys exercise as much as I do, and not everyone wants to lift weights. But there are so many reasons why everyone should!
Some of the benefits of a consistent resistance training program include:
  • 🏹maintaining muscle mass as we age
  • 🏹mood elevation!!! Lifting weights boosts those mood busting hormones, and for some can be a great tool to combat stress and anxiety
  • 🏹it strengthens your muscles and joints, meaning we are more functional across the age continuum (think about trying to get up out of a chair, or get up off of the floor, or carry a heavy sack of groceries into the house from the car)
  • 🏹resistance training stimulates bone growth and helps to fight the effects of age related osteoporosis
  • 🏹it helps your body to burn excess fat stores and helps with weight loss and management
  • 🏹it improves your cardiovascular health
According to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines, each major muscle group should be trained 2-3 days per week, with a special focus on multi joint movements. Why? Because that is how we move in life! Intensity varies based on an individuals age and other general health considerations, but we can reap the benefits of strength and resistance training at ANY age!"
- Heather Shields,
Master Trainer

WARRIORS MAKE NOISE AT THE CAPITOL

8/13/2021

0 Comments

 
August 5-7, WARRIORS make history.  We rocked the DCAC Fitness Convention. 
This was the first in person fitness conference since the global COVID19 pandemic.  We had 4 sessions. Each of which overflowed out into the hallways.  There were 30 WARRIOR instructors from around the country that came.
We sweat together, laughed and even cried.  This even felt like a major milestone for our brands.
