The power of strength training.
Strength training can be a powerful ally as you traverse the illness to wellness continuum.
Here's why it's a game changer:
1️⃣ Enhanced Mobility: Studies indicate that regular strength training improves flexibility and range of motion, enabling people to perform daily activities with greater ease and reduced pain.
2️⃣ Bone Health: Strength training is a cornerstone of bone health, especially for individuals with, or prone to, osteoporosis. CCA is accredited to deliver the ONERO™ program that has been clinically proven to improve bone density and reduce fracture risk.
3️⃣ Heart Health: Strength training significantly improves heart health by reducing blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall cardiovascular risk.
4️⃣ Muscle Building and Toning: Muscle development not only counteracts age-related muscle loss but also enhances joint support and physical function.
5️⃣ Mental Wellbeing: Research consistently demonstrates the positive impact of strength training on mental health, with studies revealing that it releases endorphins (neurotransmitters that alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression), thus promoting a sense of wellbeing and resilience.
6️⃣ Empowerment and Confidence: Scientific literature underscores the empowerment gained through strength training. By taking charge of their health and witnessing tangible improvements in strength and function, people with chronic conditions experience a significant boost in confidence and quality of life.
Start small, listen to your body, and celebrate every victory along the way!
