8 Amazing Ways Curves Workout is giving your body—and mind—a lift

If you could buy a magic bullet—a little wonder-working something that would help you lose weight, create your own best body, and reduce your risk of most major diseases—would you spring for it?

One key element of your Curves workout focuses on strength training. Check out these 8 great ways you're benefiting with each strength-training session.

 

1) You're slimming your silhouette.

You know that strength training helps you build muscle. What you may not know is that the more  muscle you have, the more calories you burn on a moment-by-moment basis. In fact, one key study showed  that after just 12 weeks of lifting weights, people burned 15% more calories per day—even while just sitting—than before they started strength training.This means the average woman could eat about 300 extra calories per day without gaining weight.                                                

Not that you should eat more, cautions Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., longtime fitness expert. Your diet can remain the same, and your workout can peel off the pounds.If you're strength training as you lose weight, your body focuses on muscle tissue and burns more body fat. Plus, by protecting this muscle mass as you drop weight, you're more likely to reach your weight-loss goals and maintain them.

 

2) You're shaving years off your age.

Every year after about age 40, most of us lose about a half-pound of muscle, reducing the number of calories we burn and increasing the odds that we'll pack on the pounds. Strength training helps you reverse that part of the aging process by maintaining or building new muscle, which, in turn, helps oust the fat.

 

3) You're ditching "down-on-yourself" days.

Research shows that when you perform strength-training exercises, your body image increases.That's probably because the benefits of strength training are much more visible than cardio training, says Larry Tucker, Ph.D., professor of physical education and a body-image expert at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

In only a few weeks, you can see the firmness of muscle where flab used to be, or you an do more reps that you used to- and that makes you feel good. In fact, some studies have shown that strenghth training can help lift a depressed mood, and be more effective than medication.

 

4) You're building strong bones.

When you're in your mid-30s, your body loses the ability to spontaneously build bone, which means you have to help it along—or risk developing osteoporosis, a condition where bones thin and can more easily fracture. One of the best ways to stimulate bone growth is through strength training. It's important that you build bone throughout your life, says Miriam Nelson, Ph.D., founder of the Center for Physical Fitness at Tufts University in Boston and author of Strong Women Stay Young—but it's crucial to do so after menopause.

After age 35, the natural building up and tearing down of bone starts to slow, and you begin losing bone faster than you're making it. The losses accelerate as estrogen levels dwindle during menopause. But strength training can reverse that trend—not only helping you to stop bone loss but actually building bone as well.

 

5) You're beating your odds against the #1 killer.

Breast cancer gets all the press, but heart disease is the top killer of women, and strength training, which has been shown to lower blood pressure and artery-clogging cholesterol (LDL), while raising good cholesterol (HDL), can significantly lower your risk of heart disease. One recent study found that people who did strength training lowered their risk by 23%.

 

6) You're cutting your cancer risk - Colon cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States—right behind lung and breast cancer for women. And while not all experts agree, some say strength training may slash your risk of developing it. Strength training increases the rate at which food moves through your gastrointestinal tract, and when you increase that rate, you decrease your colon cancer risk, says Westcott.

"Aerobic exercise does the same thing," he adds, "but strength training appears
to be even more effective. Researchers don't know why yet, but it may be because you really have to stabilize and contract your midsection muscles when you strength train."

 

7) You're keeping your blood sugar low - The next epidemic is type 2 diabetes-a disease related to obesity, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure that can lead to a host of serious physical problems including heart attack, blindness, and ampulation of your limbs. Experts predict that within the next 30 years, one in three people will be struck with this disease.

But you dont have to be a statistic: Diabetes occurs when your muscles can't take up all the glucose(sugar) in your blood, so they dont get the fuel they need. But when you strength train, your muscles become more efficcent at taking up the sugar, your blood sugar levels are more regulated-and your risk of becoming obese and developing type 2 diabetes is greatly reduced, says Ben F. Hurley, Ph.D., professor of exercise physiology at the University of Maryland in College park and an expert on exercise and aging. Even if you already have the disease, strength training offers bigbenefits. One study of 62 people with type 2 diabetes found that after 4 months, 72% of the people that exercised were able to reduce their doses of diabetes meds, while 42% of the sedentary people had to increase them.

 

You're reducing knee pain. A landmark study performed at Tufts University in Boston found that after 4 months of strength training, people with osteoarthritis (the kind that comes from wear and tear on the joints) had 43% less knee pain. As a result, they improved their ability to move without pain by 44%—all because they built the muscles surrounding their knees.
