10 | 5 Strength Training Benefits For Mental Wellbeing and Mobility

Do you think that strength training is only for weightlifters?  Are you wondering how to boost your long-term health?  Are you avoiding strength training because you don’t want to “bulk up”?  Are you more of a cardio-workout gal, and don’t think you have time to do strength training?

In this episode, I will dive into the long-term benefits of strength training and 7 ways this benefits our mental wellbeing and our mobility.  Don’t we all need more mental wellbeing and to increase our mobility, and not be stiff in our movements?  So let’s get started!

After 40, strength training became a practical, time-efficient shift from long cardio, inspired by calisthenics and real-life results. Short, consistent workouts now support long-term health by preserving muscle and bone density, improving mobility, preventing injuries, and enhancing brain function. Strength training also plays a key role in stress management, better sleep, and emotional wellbeing. When paired with eating well and simple mediterranean diet recipes, it supports healthy weight, blood sugar balance, and effective time management for a full, active life.
