What Happens To Your Body When You Stop Lifting Weights
What Happens To Your Body When You Stop Lifting Weights
Anyone who s ever been cornered by a CrossFit enthusiast at a bar has likely heard all about the benefits of weight lifting. But the significant advantages of weight and strength training aren t something to scoff at.
Weight lifting makes the body do what it was meant to do: work, says Michael R. Deschenes, PhD, FACSM, a professor of kinesiology and health sciences and the chair of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at The College of William & Mary, and a fellow with the American College of Sports Medicine. Weight training strengthens not only your muscles but also your skeletal system, Deschenes says. The stress it puts on your muscles creates microtears, which then heal and help your muscles grow larger and stronger, he explains.
