         <description><![CDATA[<div>Strength training is one of the very few ways to make bones denser, a perk that is especially important for women. Lifting something heavy, like a dumbbell, makes bones bear more weight, and in exercise, stressing your bones is a good thing (to a certain extent of course). Bones are constantly remodeling, and your body is always adding calcium to your bones at the same time as taking calcium away.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This delicate balance starts to change as people age, and they end up losing more mineral from the bone than they’re able to add on. Over time, bone gets less dense and more brittle and prone to osteoporosis, a condition that affects about 10 million Americans—80% of whom are female. Women have smaller, thinner bones than men from the start, and after menopause they lose estrogen, a hormone that protects bones.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>In a 2016 study, women were asked to record their lifestyle habits over the course of a decade. The women who were active and regularly performed <a href="http://mjfit.co/gym-training/"><strong>Private Personal Trainer</strong></a> showes a better quality of life and a significantly lower BMI than women who were more sedentary. The active women also had a Type 2 diabetes risk that was 30% lower and a cardiovascular disease risk 17% lower than those who did no strength training, even after the researchers controlled for other variables like age, diet and physical activity.</div><div>Adding aerobic exercise helped drive both risks down even more. Those who did at least 120 minutes a week of aerobic exercise and some <a href="http://mjfit.co/gym-training/"><strong>Female Gym Trainer</strong></a> had a Type 2 diabetes risk 65% lower than women who didn’t do either.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>As you grow fitter, you have to do more and more aerobic exercise to see the gains, she explains. Strength training, in her view, is the most efficient exercise for those with limited time. Exercise is also a fantastic way to relieve stress, so if there are some tough things going on in your life, turn to the gym to “blow off some steam” and allow the release of “happy” endorphins that come along with the onset of exercise.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><a href="http://time.com/4824531/strength-training-women-exercise/">http://time.com/4824531/strength-training-women-exercise/</a></div>]]></description>
