Strength training and your metabolism

We mentioned metabolism in yesterday's post. Let's dive a little deeper into the role of metabolism in your health. First and foremost, it plays a crucial role in how your body uses energy. It's like your "engine" that determines how fast or slow your body burns calories. And, strength training can actually help improve your metabolism and assist in managing conditions like diabetes!

Here are 3 ways strength training can benefit your metabolic health:

1. Build muscle: When you do strength training, you're actually building muscle. Muscles burn more calories even when you're just sitting or resting, which means a higher metabolism and more efficient calorie burning!
2. Help with blood sugar control: Strength training has been shown to improve how your body uses insulin, which is a hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar levels. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes as it can help stabilize blood sugar levels and improve overall blood sugar control.
3. Burn more fat: Strength training can actually help your body burn more fat, which can be beneficial for weight management and metabolic health.
