How Strength Training Changed His Life After 601. It Helps Regulate His Weight<\/p>\n
‘I have lost weight,’ Rhinerson explains. ‘Strength training can help boost metabolism, making it easier to manage weight as the body’s metabolism naturally slows down with age.’<\/p>\n
He’s not wrong. Multiple studies<\/a> have backed up Rhinerson’s point, showing that consistent strength training can increase the number of calories you burn at rest. That’s because muscle tissue requires more energy to maintain than fat, helping to increase your resting metabolic rate (RMR).<\/p>\n 2. It Has Improved His Posture<\/p>\n It’s often assumed that becoming hunched over is simply part of getting older. While shrinking spinal discs and weakening muscles certainly contribute, Rhinerson believes strength training has helped him push back against that decline.<\/p>\n ‘I have better posture,’ he says. ‘With stronger back muscles I don’t walk around slouched over like so many older people do.’<\/p>\n 3. It Has Improved His Mood<\/p>\n ‘I have more energy and a better mood. Strength training has boosted my confidence to try new things and enjoy life more,’ he adds.<\/p>\n Once again, the evidence supports Rhinerson’s experience. Research<\/a> has shown that lifting weights can reduce fatigue, boost energy levels and improve confidence. Feeling stronger also makes people more confident in their ability to move well, recover from slips and falls, and stay active as they get older.<\/p>\n 4. It Helps Him Be a Better Grandfather<\/p>\n Perhaps most importantly, Rhinerson believes strength training allows him to show up as the best version of himself for his family.<\/p>\n ‘I’m a better Grandpa,’ he says. ‘Strength training helps me keep up with my young grandkids.’<\/p>\n If there\u2019s one thing Kori Sampson knows, it\u2019s how to optimise your body composition for performance.
