According to Divy Amin, fitness is a lifestyle which one has to follow whole-heartedly and with dedication.
He loves weight training and all his fitness regimens including weight training as core part of the schedule. Lifting weights can be beneficial for the young and old alike, whether they are male or female. Below are some of the benefits of weight training:
Strength: First and foremost thing a person who lifts weight will experience is increase in strength over a period of time. With regular work outs, power, endurance, and muscle size increase. It helps one in everyday life whether you want to rearrange your furniture, carry extra bags of grocery or climb stairs if the elevator is too crowded.
Flexibility: Unlike the common perception that weight training makes the muscles stiff, it actually enhances flexibility. World class athletes and gymnasts train with weights to increase their strength and performance. Using full range of motion and incorporating stretching in your routine can help you increase your flexibility, and thus save you from muscle pulls and injuries, says Divy Amin.
Muscle Tone: Enhanced muscle tone and visibly better defined muscles is another benefit of weight training. Most people are afraid to lift as they think it will make them look bulky and huge, but the beauty of weight training is that by changing your schedule and nutrition, you can get a lean and hard look as well. It’s all up to you whether you want to look huge or cut and defined.
Metabolism: Any form of exercise boosts your metabolism and weight training is no exception. You might not lose weight rapidly, but you will surely lose body fat by lifting weights regularly. Your waist size will decrease and body fat percentage will go down too.
