En realidad, cuanto antes se empiece, mejor. El entrenamiento de fuerza entre los 20 y los 30 a\u00f1os ayuda a desarrollar la densidad \u00f3sea, la masa muscular, el metabolismo, la confianza y la autoestima, y consolida el entrenamiento de fuerza como un h\u00e1bito ineludible para toda la vida. Y aunque el entrenamiento cardiovascular tiene sus beneficios, simplemente no es suficiente. <strong>No hay sustituto para el entrenamiento de fuerza.<\/strong> para mujeres.<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\/>As\u00ed que es hora de aclarar las cosas. Exploremos <strong>Por qu\u00e9 es fundamental que las mujeres se vuelvan fuertes<\/strong>:<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Mejora el estado de \u00e1nimo, la resistencia y la energ\u00eda. <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Al igual que otras formas de ejercicio, el entrenamiento de fuerza provoca la liberaci\u00f3n de endorfinas, una de nuestras \u2018hormonas de la felicidad\u2019 naturales que se asocia con las actividades gratificantes. Las endorfinas son las responsables de esa sensaci\u00f3n de euforia tras el entrenamiento y del aumento de energ\u00eda durante todo el d\u00eda despu\u00e9s de una sesi\u00f3n de entrenamiento intensa. Tambi\u00e9n se ha descubierto que el entrenamiento con pesas mejora significativamente <strong>reducir los s\u00edntomas de la depresi\u00f3n leve-moderada<\/strong> y los estudios sugieren que el impacto en la depresi\u00f3n grave puede ser a\u00fan mayor.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Mejora la calidad del sue\u00f1o. <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Se ha demostrado que el entrenamiento de fuerza <strong>mejorar la calidad del sue\u00f1o.<\/strong> (El sue\u00f1o lo es todo, por lo que solo este punto deber\u00eda bastar para que todas las mujeres acudieran en masa al gimnasio). Dormir bien por la noche ayuda a mejorar la funci\u00f3n inmunitaria, la composici\u00f3n corporal, el estado de \u00e1nimo, la memoria, la capacidad para lidiar con el estr\u00e9s, la energ\u00eda y el bienestar emocional positivo.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Mejora la densidad \u00f3sea <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Las mujeres tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar osteoporosis, donde <strong>Los huesos se vuelven fr\u00e1giles y quebradizos debido a una r\u00e1pida disminuci\u00f3n de los estr\u00f3genos tras la menopausia.<\/strong> En resumen, cuanto m\u00e1s densos y fuertes sean los huesos que construyas durante tus veinte a\u00f1os, mayor ser\u00e1 la densidad \u00f3sea cuando comience a producirse la p\u00e9rdida \u00f3sea. El entrenamiento de fuerza es importante a partir de los treinta a\u00f1os para minimizar la p\u00e9rdida \u00f3sea y mantener la densidad, la estructura, la fuerza y el rendimiento funcional de los huesos, y aunque no suene muy emocionante, el mantenimiento de estos elementos supone una gran ventaja para la salud de las mujeres.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Reduce la ansiedad <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Los estudios demuestran que el entrenamiento de resistencia de intensidad baja a moderada (menos de 70% de una repetici\u00f3n m\u00e1xima) puede <strong>ayuda a reducir la ansiedad.<\/strong> El miedo y la preocupaci\u00f3n, a veces abrumadores, asociados con la ansiedad pueden ser incapacitantes y se estima que afectan a 1 de cada 3 mujeres. Los resultados sugieren que el entrenamiento de fuerza puede incluso ser beneficioso en el tratamiento cl\u00ednico de la ansiedad.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Metabolismo saludable y masa muscular <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>A medida que envejecemos, se produce una disminuci\u00f3n natural de la masa muscular y el metabolismo, adem\u00e1s de un <strong>aumento de peso asociado despu\u00e9s de los 20 a\u00f1os.<\/strong> Aunque no se ha demostrado que el entrenamiento de fuerza regular y constante aumente el metabolismo a medida que se envejece, s\u00ed se ha demostrado que ayuda a mantener el metabolismo y la masa muscular, lo cual es muy beneficioso.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Mejora la calidad de vida, la confianza y la autoestima. <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>La mejora de la salud f\u00edsica y emocional significa que el entrenamiento de fuerza mejora naturalmente la calidad de vida. Ser capaz de moverse mejor sin restricciones ni sentirse \u201cd\u00e9bil\u201d puede parecer trivial, pero es muy \u00fatil y te da fuerza. Por ejemplo, poder abrir botes t\u00fa mismo, mover muebles o levantar esa bolsa pesada y meterla en el compartimento superior del avi\u00f3n te da una <strong>sentido de independencia,<\/strong> la capacidad de hacer cosas por uno mismo en la vida cotidiana. Desde el punto de vista fisiol\u00f3gico, desarrollar y mantener la masa muscular est\u00e1 relacionado con una mejor postura y movilidad, lo que se traduce en una mayor agilidad y una reducci\u00f3n de las lesiones y las ca\u00eddas.<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>Empezar<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>As\u00ed que, tanto si tienes 20 como 60 a\u00f1os, el mejor momento para empezar a hacer entrenamiento de fuerza es ahora.

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). A good night\\u0026rsquo;s sleep helps to improve immune function, body composition, mood, memory, ability to deal with stress, energy and positive emotional wellbeing.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Improves Bone Density \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Women are at greater risk of developing osteoporosis, where \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;bones become brittle and fragile due to a rapid decline in estrogen post menopause.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; In short, the more dense, strong bone you can build through your 20s, the higher the bone density is when bone loss starts occurring. Strength training is important from your 30s onwards to minimize bone loss, and maintain bone density, structure, strength and functional performance\\u0026mdash;and although it sounds unexciting, maintenance of these elements is a huge health win for women.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Reduces Anxiety \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Studies show that resistance training of low-to-moderate intensity (less than 70% of one repetition maximum) can \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;help to reduce anxiety.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; The sometimes overwhelming fear and worry associated with anxiety can be crippling and is estimated to affect 1 in 3 women.
