Muscle Strengthening at Chiropractic Lane
Muscle strengthening exercises might make you think of young body builders, but the truth is regular strength training has a host of health benefits for all ages.
Mention strength training and most of us think of body builders with thick necks and bulging biceps. But we can all benefit from strength training, at any age.
Regular muscle strengthening has been shown to help:
- manage blood pressure, blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels.
- prevent and control heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
- improve posture, mobility and balance.
- reduce the risk of falls and injury.
- maintain your ability to do everyday tasks.
And, here’s the best bit, regular strength training routine boosts your metabolism, which means you can eat more before you start to gain weight.
In fact, the benefits of strength training are so significant that the new exercise guidelines are recommending we all do muscle strengthening exercises at least twice a week. But muscle strengthening doesn’t have to mean bulking up, and it doesn’t have to involve weights.
The patients at Chiropractic Lane are taught simple exercises that both strengthen and stretch muscles while helping them to achieve the goals of managing blood pressure and controlling diabetes. Many of these exercises are unique to the office and are created by Dr. Lane.
