Reason #5 Why Lifting Ladies and Action 90 programs work so well for women and men who want to shed body fat & improve their lifestyles.
- YOU WILL BUILD STRONGER BONES:-)
- Osteoporosis is becoming more prevalent in our population these days for poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. After the age of 35 men and women can lose up to 0.3-0.5% each year and can get worse is lifestyle is poor.
- Our programs at Action Conditioning help to battle osteoporosis by incorporating proper weight training, flexibility, core conditioning, lifestyle coaching and sound nutrition.
HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE?
- Lifestyle change = it is that simple. You must adopt sound nutrition and supplementation.
- Men who have low testosterone are at risk as well= weight training helps boost T levels and those T levels are needed for bone density
- Women with lower estrogen levels are at risk because bone density needs estrogen = lifting weights will produce more testosterone levels and due to the body’s natural balancing ability, estrogen levels will increase from the increase in T levels; creating balance.
- speaking of BALANCE = those who fall with osteoporosis tend to have severe breaks and in a lot of cases can lead to death = weight training will also increase BALANCE and SPACIAL AWARENESS limiting the risk of falls.
- Weekend Warriors = we all want to get into shape, but please do not go out and think you can run a 10k or half marathon or jump right into your old weight training program if you have been inactive for a long time. WHY? There really are not any signs or symptoms of osteoporosis other than pain.
Please go see a Doctor prior to starting exercise and have a consultation with a personal trainer to help set up a program that can get you started....doing the later will just get you injured and most likely not wanting to train again.
- Research states that a 12-16week resistance training program can increase bone density and levels of osteocalcin up to 19%!

Reason #4 Why Lifting Ladies and Action 90 programs work so well for women and men who want to shed body fat & improve their lifestyles.
- YOUR DIET WILL IMPROVE :-)
- Yes! Those who take part in a program that involves weight training will trigger some positive hormones that will have you making some positive food and lifestyle choices because your brain is HAPPY :-)
WHY? You are in a positive atmosphere, lifting weights, having fun and burning calories during and after training. This process has your brain throwing a huge happy party with its best friend's; endorphins, dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine....making you feel great!
Now that you're feeling great, you will be less tempted by the dark side to eat 45 mini cookies at supersonic speed and more tempted to look for something healthy.
A positive change WILL occur!
NUTRITION = is taught in our A90 programs, and is also a stand alone program for those who need nutrition help via our "Nutrition Prescription".

Reason #3 Why Lifting Ladies and Action 90 programs work so well for women and men who want to shed body fat.
#3 YOU WILL BURN MORE CALORIES!
Proper weight training and lifting weights will increase the number of calories you burn, EVEN after you leave the gym!
HOW? After your weight training session, your body must recover and repair the damaged muscle tissue you broke down during training (more on this process later). During this process you are using up calories to help with repair and growth, hence more caloric burn. Now your newly repaired muscles remember the workout session prior and increase their capacity to do work; now your burning calories faster, without training from your new hungry muscles!
Plus those lift weights will have a increased fat burning rate compared to those who do not.
Research states weight training can increase your caloric burn for up to 40+hrs AFTER your workout.
SO get your butts into the gym and learn to weight train from our fully certified trainers and kinesiologists!

Reason #2 Why Lifting Ladies and Action 90 programs work so well for women and men who want to shed body fat.
#2 YOUR CLOTHES WILL FIT BETTER!
Reseach shows, between the ages 30 and 50 the body starts to waist away losing muscle, and replacing it with visceral fat (fat that is around the organs) and subcutaneous fat (fat just under our skin). This is how someone can stay the same weight (from musc...le loss) and look like crap in their clothes (from added V & S fat).
1lb of fat will takes up 17-19% more space on your body than hard earned muscle! This is why your clothes will fit better :-)
- Some of you starting a weight training program will complain of your clothes getting tighter....GOOD! That means it's working! The muscle is being trained and repairning itself, pushing onto the S-Fat on that sits on top of of the muscle. Most people quit at this stage thinking, "I get huge when I lift weights!" This is a myth ladies and gentelmen!
Train our style for 90days....& BAM S-Fat is gone, V-Fat is lowered and your clothes...ahhhh slipping on like Cinderella's slipper :-)
SO lift weights People....let us show you how!
