In Wirklichkeit gilt: Je fr\u00fcher Sie damit beginnen, desto besser. Krafttraining in den 20er oder 30er Jahren tr\u00e4gt zum Aufbau von Knochendichte, Muskelmasse, Stoffwechsel, Selbstvertrauen und Selbstbewusstsein bei und macht Krafttraining zu einer lebenslangen, nicht verhandelbaren Gewohnheit. Und obwohl Herz-Kreislauf-Training seine Vorteile hat, reicht es einfach nicht aus. <strong>es gibt keinen Ersatz f\u00fcr Krafttraining<\/strong> f\u00fcr Frauen.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/>Es ist also an der Zeit, die Geschichte zurechtzur\u00fccken. Lasst uns erkunden <strong>warum es f\u00fcr Frauen wichtig ist, stark zu werden<\/strong>:<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Verbessert Stimmung, Ausdauer und Energie <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Wie andere Formen der k\u00f6rperlichen Bet\u00e4tigung f\u00fchrt auch Krafttraining zu einer Freisetzung von Endorphinen, einem unserer nat\u00fcrlichen \u2018Gl\u00fcckshormone\u2019, das mit belohnungsbasierten Aktivit\u00e4ten in Verbindung gebracht wird. Endorphine sind verantwortlich f\u00fcr das Hochgef\u00fchl nach dem Training und den Energieschub w\u00e4hrend des Tages nach einer soliden Trainingseinheit. Au\u00dferdem hat sich herausgestellt, dass Krafttraining erheblich dazu beitr\u00e4gt <strong>die Symptome einer leichten bis mittelschweren Depression zu verringern<\/strong> und Studien deuten darauf hin, dass die Auswirkungen auf schwere Depressionen noch gr\u00f6\u00dfer sein k\u00f6nnten.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Verbessert die Schlafqualit\u00e4t <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Krafttraining bewirkt nachweislich <strong>die Schlafqualit\u00e4t zu verbessern.<\/strong> (Schlaf ist das A und O, also sollte allein dieser Punkt jede Frau dazu bringen, in den Kraftraum zu str\u00f6men). Eine gute Nachtruhe tr\u00e4gt dazu bei, die Immunfunktion, die K\u00f6rperzusammensetzung, die Stimmung, das Ged\u00e4chtnis, die F\u00e4higkeit, mit Stress umzugehen, die Energie und das positive emotionale Wohlbefinden zu verbessern.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Verbessert die Knochendichte <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Frauen haben ein h\u00f6heres Risiko, an Osteoporose zu erkranken, wobei <strong>Die Knochen werden spr\u00f6de und br\u00fcchig, weil der \u00d6strogenspiegel nach der Menopause rasch sinkt.<\/strong> Kurz gesagt: Je mehr dichte, starke Knochen Sie in Ihren 20ern aufbauen k\u00f6nnen, desto h\u00f6her ist die Knochendichte, wenn der Knochenschwund einsetzt. Krafttraining ist ab dem 30. Lebensjahr wichtig, um den Knochenschwund zu minimieren und die Knochendichte, -struktur, -kraft und -leistung zu erhalten - und auch wenn es sich nicht aufregend anh\u00f6rt, ist die Erhaltung dieser Elemente ein gro\u00dfer gesundheitlicher Gewinn f\u00fcr Frauen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Reduziert Angstzust\u00e4nde <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Studien zeigen, dass ein Widerstandstraining mit geringer bis mittlerer Intensit\u00e4t (weniger als 70% einer maximalen Wiederholung) <strong>helfen, \u00c4ngste abzubauen.<\/strong> Die manchmal \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigenden \u00c4ngste und Sorgen, die mit Angst verbunden sind, k\u00f6nnen l\u00e4hmend sein und betreffen sch\u00e4tzungsweise 1 von 3 Frauen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Krafttraining sogar bei der klinischen Behandlung von \u00c4ngsten hilfreich sein kann.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Gesunder Stoffwechsel und Muskelmasse <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Mit zunehmendem Alter kommt es zu einer nat\u00fcrlichen Abnahme der Muskelmasse und des Stoffwechsels sowie zu einer <strong>die damit verbundene Gewichtszunahme nach Ende 20.<\/strong> Es ist zwar nicht erwiesen, dass regelm\u00e4\u00dfiges und konsequentes Krafttraining den Stoffwechsel im Alter steigert, aber es hilft nachweislich, den Stoffwechsel und die Muskelmasse zu erhalten, was von gro\u00dfem Vorteil ist.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Verbessert die Lebensqualit\u00e4t, das Selbstvertrauen und den Glauben an sich selbst <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Eine verbesserte k\u00f6rperliche und emotionale Gesundheit bedeutet, dass Krafttraining nat\u00fcrlich die Lebensqualit\u00e4t erh\u00f6ht. Die M\u00f6glichkeit, sich besser bewegen zu k\u00f6nnen, ohne sich eingeschr\u00e4nkt oder \u201cschwach\u201d zu f\u00fchlen, mag trivial klingen, ist aber sehr n\u00fctzlich und st\u00e4rkt das Selbstbewusstsein. Wenn Sie in der Lage sind, Gl\u00e4ser zu \u00f6ffnen, M\u00f6bel zu verschieben oder eine schwere Tasche in ein Gep\u00e4ckfach zu heben, bringt das ein <strong>das Gef\u00fchl der Unabh\u00e4ngigkeit,<\/strong> die F\u00e4higkeit, Dinge im Alltag selbst zu tun. Physiologisch gesehen geht der Aufbau und Erhalt von Muskelmasse mit einer besseren Haltung und Bewegung einher, was zu einer gr\u00f6\u00dferen Mobilit\u00e4t und einer geringeren Verletzungs- und Sturzgefahr f\u00fchrt.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong>Los geht's<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Ob Sie nun 20 oder 60 Jahre alt sind, der beste Zeitpunkt, um mit Krafttraining zu beginnen, ist jetzt. Aufgrund der zahlreichen Vorteile f\u00fcr Ihre k\u00f6rperliche und emotionale Gesundheit lohnt es sich, regelm\u00e4\u00dfig Gewichte zu heben.

Endorphins are responsible for that post-workout buzz and the lift in energy throughout the day after a solid training session. Weight training has also been found to significantly \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;reduce symptoms of mild-moderate depression\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; and studies suggest that the impact on severe depression may be even greater.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Increases sleep quality \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Strength training is shown to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;improve sleep quality.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; (Sleep rules all, so this point alone should get every woman flocking to the weights room).
