Your Immune System And Strength Training | Day #15 WellFit 365

Strength Training Helps To Boost Your Immune System!

In this episode of WellFit 365, I discuss the benefits of strength training for your immune system. You might be suprised at these facts and research findings!

Most people hit weights at the gym to get stronger, build more muscle mass, or improve their body composition.

What most people don’t realise is that your immune system can benefit greatly as well…

Strength training has many health & fitness benefits

One of the lesser known facts of strength training is that it can help improve your immune system!

Recent research done showed that people who had done 4 months of moderate to intense strength training had a 43% less chance of getting colds during winters. Also, when they did get a cold, they were able to recover quicker and the symptoms were not as severe.

When we first perform strength training, we actually have a lower immune response. Once we get into a regular pattern of strength training, our body makes adaptations that allows it to better handle stress and also fight off disease more effectively.
