4 Strength Training Tips Everyone Should Know

By Fit3 Head Coach Tina Van Horn

For many people, turning 40 can be a dreaded milestone. For the health and fitness conscientious, however, turning 30 could be considered the new 40.

Why 30, you may ask? From the time you were born until around the time you turn 30, your muscles grow larger and stronger. But during your 30s, you naturally start to lose muscle mass and function. This is called sarcopenia or “muscle loss with aging.”

The good news? Muscle-strengthening activities help increase or maintain your muscle mass and power. Steadily increasing weight and repetitions will give you even more benefits, no matter your age.

That’s why, if you haven’t already, it’s time to get serious about adding strength training to your workouts. I know machines at the gym can be confusing, so don’t even look at the intimidating guys (and ladies) who hang out in the free weights area!

My Story

Focusing on Others: Ruth Davis

Ruth Davis from Norton, Ohio is a full-time Reliv Distributor who focuses her business on the needs of others!

Reliv Regimen: Reliv Now®, LunaRich X™

A New Dream: When I decided to give Reliv a try, I never dreamed it would be possible to do the things I am doing now with my business. My Reliv sponsor gave me great advice: “If you are focused on just helping people, business success will come.”

Sharing Success: I lost weight and I am maintaining that weight loss. It’s particularly amazing because I have an underactive thyroid. My own success has made me very keen and more passionate about sensing others’ needs.

Amazingly Simple: It amazes me that we can make as much money as we do. We always ask ourselves, “How are we going to get to $2,000 this month? ” Then we do it. I am going to keep helping people wherever I go.

Fighting Chronic Inflammation: The Key to Prevention

What is Inflammation?

We’ve all experienced acute inflammation — a cut, a bug bite, a burn, a sprained ankle, an allergic reaction, an infection. It’s the body’s way of protecting itself. Blood vessels near the damaged area constrict and then dilate to bring more blood to the area, making it redden and heat up. The increased flow of blood and other fluids causes the area to swell and brings in immune cells and ingredients for rebuilding tissue. Inflammation must break down damaged tissue or pathogens in order for the area to heal. As the area heals, the inflammation subsides. This inflammatory process is very important for the immune system and for our survival.

Chronic inflammation, or “silent” inflammation, works differently. It is not a response to sudden injury, but rather a constant, low-level process lasting several months or years. We don’t necessarily realize when our body is experiencing this quiet burn, but its effects can be devastating. Chronic inflammation has been identified as a major factor in the development of several major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
