Regular strength-training is a key element in your antiaging program.
For many people – ‘doing weights’ means slogging along to the gym at 5.30am and completing a round on weight machines. Yet you can get a really good workout without leaving the comfort of your home. Dumbbell weights or simple home gym cable-and-pulley machines allow freedom of motion and can actually give better strength gains than fancier commercial ‘fixed’ equipment.
Fixed machines such as the leg-press machine, loaded up a plate with weights uses a fixed plane of motion to push through. This does not bring into play other fitness functions such as balance and muscle control. And less effort, means lower results.
Studies have shown that those who used free-form equipment enjoy strength gains by 115 percent compared to just 57 percent for the fixed-machine users.
Even lifting weights for 10 minutes just 3 times per week can make a real difference.
