Are you ignoring dumbbell workouts for women? When many women start a workout program, they often only focus on cardio.<\/p>\n

There is the common misconception that strength training is only for men or athletes.<\/p>\n

It can also be intimidating for women to walk into a gym and start a weight lifting program, even at home.<\/p>\n

The truth is, weight training is essential for women, especially as they get older.<\/p>\n

And you can maintain, or even improve, your strength at any age with just a set of dumbbells.<\/p>\n

As women age, lean body mass decreases, something known as sarcopenia.<\/p>\n

Studies have shown that this appears to be more from muscle disuse rather than just aging alone.<\/p>\n

However, regular strength training can help you maintain muscle mass at any age<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only will strength training help you maintain muscle mass, but resistance workouts also help improve blood pressure, blood sugars, and other markers of chronic disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One study from the International Journal of Obesity even found that women who engaged in twice-weekly strength training programs were able to improve their body composition and decrease their obesity risk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So what are you waiting for? Get started with dumbbell workouts for women today!<\/p>\n

Looking for other ways to spice up your workouts? Try these kettlebell exercises for women<\/a>!<\/em><\/h3>\n
