But do you know how truly magical its results can be for your bones, especially for those past a certain age?<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019ve never undertaken a specific class yourself, you do this every day in resistance to your own body weight, simply by walking, standing and sitting. Or, you do it in yoga or Pilates.<\/p>\n<p>But when undertaken intensively, in a dedicated workout with a respected trainer (Enter Flex Studio\u2019s FLEXTreme Power Sesh), you\u2019re reaping huge rewards fast. And no, weight training doesn\u2019t mean you necessarily \u2018bulk-up\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>So how does it work?<\/p>\n<p>According to a TIME magazine report from 2017 (<a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/4803697\/bodybuilding-strength-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>http:\/\/time.com\/4803697\/bodybuilding-strength-training\/<\/u><\/a>) weight training still reminds many of bodybuilders pumping iron in pursuit of beefy biceps and bulging pecs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22569\" src=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/DSC09456.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut experts say,\u201d the report continues, \u201cit\u2019s well past time to discard those antiquated notions of what resistance training can do for your physique and health. Modern exercise science shows that working with weights\u2014whether that weight is a light dumbbell or your own body\u2014may be the best exercise for lifelong physical function and fitness\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Quoted in the report is Brad Schoenfeld, an assistant professor of exercise science at New York City\u2019s Lehman College.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Schoenfeld talks about bone resorption, or a decrease in bone tissue over time. As young people, bone resorption is balanced and in some cases exceeded by new bone tissue generation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut later in life,\u201d Dr Schoenfeld continues, \u201cbone tissue losses accelerate and outpace the creation of new bone\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially pronounced among the sedentary and women in or who have passed menopause. Unfortunately, loss of bone tissue results in weakness and postural problems, all of which we associate with not only feeling older, but looking it too.<\/p>\n<p>Flex director Heather Thomas Shalabi backs these findings all the way, having herself seen the difference that weight training can do for women and men at any age. Heather adds that resistance training can utilize a variety of tools, such as TRX\u00ae, kettle balls, light hand-weights and so on, and while it also helps to tackle bone loss, it also assists hugely with postural issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudies show that strength training stimulates the development of cells that build bones back up,\u201d says Heather. \u201cSo the time to act is now, before injury or physical ailments take hold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a report titled \u201cStrength Training Builds More Than Muscles\u201d, Harvard Medical School adds that strength training, in particular, has bone benefits beyond those offered by aerobic weight-bearing exercise (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/strength-training-builds-more-than-muscles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/strength-training-builds-more-than-muscles<\/u><\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt targets bones of the hips, spine, and wrists, which are the sites most likely to fracture,\u201d Harvard Health says. \u201cWhat&#8217;s more, resistance workouts \u2014 particularly those that include moves emphasizing power and balance \u2014 enhance strength and stability.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22570\" src=\"https:\/\/flexhk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DSC09467.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That can boost confidence, encourage you to stay active, and reduce fractures another way \u2014 by cutting down on falls, the report concludes.<\/p>\n<p>As Heather says, it\u2019s a total-body strength approach that aerobic exercise alone can\u2019t achieve fully \u2013 and that goes for men and woman. The good news is, Flex can help.<\/p>\n<p>Our Flex Power Tone classes \u2013 which are one element of the unique FLEXTreme method \u2013 are a powerful way to tone your entire body in just 50 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Power blends weight-based work with trusted, highly effective personal training methods and the Classical Pilates concept of total core engagement.
