A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology has found that women who engage in strength training tend to live longer. These exercises bring unique health benefits, such as improved muscle mass, bone density, and metabolic health. Health professionals advise that women incorporate strength training into their fitness routine at least two times per week, prioritizing major muscle groups. Determining the right amount of strength training can vary based on individual fitness goals and health status.
