Benefits of Olympic Weightlifting
Are you looking to improve your physical health and appearance? Purlife Fitness Center recognizes the benefits of Olympic weightlifting. We are proud to offer a new Olympic Lifting Station to our members. Olympic weightlifting is a great way to improve bone density, body composition, power and flexibility.
Safety
One of the benefits of Olympic weightlifting is safety. One study has shown that Olympic lifting has the lowest number of injuries per 100hrs trained compared to both bodybuilding and powerlifting. Purlife cares about your health and safety. Our trainers will advise you on the proper way to perform these lifts to stay safe.
Bone Density
As people age, osteoporosis becomes an issue. A reduction in bone density leads to a higher propensity for injury. Once plagued by the disease, people experience broken and fractured bones. This is the most common reason people are put in a nursing home. Women are at a higher risk than men, but anyone can get osteoporosis.
An increase in bone mass is one of the benefits of Olympic weightlifting. As you age, this will allow you to sustain a better quality of life.
Body Composition
Body composition is the percent your body is made up of:
- Body fat
- Bone
- Water
- Muscle
Another one of the benefits of Olympic weightlifting is improving your body composition. Your body fat will decrease and muscle mass will increase. Whether you are looking to bulk up or tone up, Olympic weightlifting will provide you the fastest results.
Power
Power refers to your level of strength. Increased power is also one of the benefits of Olympic weightlifting. As you train, you will be able to lift more and more weight. This will improve your physical and mental health. It will also improve the effectiveness of workouts.
Flexibility
Increased flexibility is another one of the benefits of Olympic weightlifting. Many techniques require great flexibility. Practicing these will increase your flexibility. It will improve the effectiveness of workouts and decrease risks of injury. It will also reduce work out stress and improve your balance.
