Surprising Health & Fitness Facts

1. Muscle burns more than fat — even at rest.
   The more muscle you build, the more calories your body burns 24/7 (even when you’re chilling on the sofa!).

2. You can start strength training at any age.
   Studies show people in their 60s, 70s, and beyond can still gain muscle, strength, and mobility with resistance training.

3. Lifting weights boosts your mood.
   Strength training releases endorphins and can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression — it’s therapy with dumbbells!

4. You don’t need hours in the gym to see results.
   Just 2–3 well-structured strength sessions per week can make a noticeable difference in strength, energy, and body composition.

5. Strong muscles = strong bones.
   Resistance training helps maintain bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis as we age.

6. Women don’t “bulk up” from lifting weights.
   Strength training tones, shapes, and boosts metabolism — it doesn’t make you bulky, it makes you powerful.

7. Consistency beats intensity.
   Training regularly, even with lighter sessions, delivers better long-term results than pushing too hard and burning out.

8. Your brain benefits too.
   Exercise improves memory, focus, and mental sharpness — making it one of the best “anti-ageing” tools out there.
