Fanwood Chiropractor Explains How a Little Weight Lifting Offers Big Health Benefits

An analysis of data concerning nearly 13,000 adults showed that engaging in any amount of resistance exercise per week is associated with up to a 32% reduced risk for hypercholesterolemia and a 29% lower risk of developing metabolic syndrome, which is known to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Researcher Dr. DC Lee explains, "People may think they need to spend a lot of time lifting weights, but just two sets of bench presses that take less than 5 minutes could be effective… Muscle is the power plant to burn calories. Building muscle helps move your joints and bones, but also there are metabolic benefits. I don't think this is well appreciated."
