When we think of healthcare, we often focus on doctor visits, preventive care, lab tests and immunizations. But there are other factors that are in our personal control, like improving our diets, reducing stress and adding fun to our lives. Exercise is one of these controllable factors, and it\u2019s highly effective at improving health.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0American Academy of Family Physicians, regular exercise provides a great array of health benefits, including lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, preventing diabetes, improving mood and cognitive function, and reducing mortality. For women, those benefits expand, thanks to their combination of hormones and health risks. Here\u2019s four ways exercise specifically benefits women.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For each exercise that involves repetitions, perform 10 repetitions using a moderate-to-heavy weight that causes muscular failure at around 10 repetitions. For time-based exercises, complete 30 to 60-second holds. Perform three sets of all exercises with 60 to 90 seconds of rest between sets. Repeat the workout one to two times per week. You can also split the routine into multiple smaller workouts throughout the week.<\/p>\n

Planks are a fantastic exercise for strengthening your core and improving your overall stability. They also help tone your abdominal muscles and can improve your posture. Including them at the beginning of the workout helps prepare your core for the heavier stabilization needed during squats and deadlifts.<\/p>\n

To perform a plank, begin in a modified pushup position with your elbows bent and your forearms resting on the ground. Align your elbows directly under your shoulders, and keep your body in a straight line. Engage your core and glutes to maintain this position. Hold this position for the target time, remembering to breathe throughout.<\/p>\n

Lunges<\/h2>\n

Lunges target your lower body and help improve balance and coordination, making them a great addition to any workout routine. They also strengthen your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and core while improving your mobility.<\/p>\n

To perform a lunge, stand with your feet hip-width distance apart and your hands on your hips or holding dumbbells at your sides. Take a step forward with your right foot, landing with your heel first, and bend both knees to lower your body. Rotate your left foot inward slightly as you lower your left knee for optimal biomechanics. Push through your right heel to return to the starting position, and switch legs. Repeat for the target repetitions.<\/p>\n

Bend at the hips and knees, gripping the barbell with an overhand or mixed grip. Engage your core, and keep your back straight, lifting your chest as you straighten your legs and hips to lift the barbell. At the top of the movement, fully extend your hips and knees, then lower the barbell back to the ground, maintaining control. Repeat for the target repetitions.<\/p>\n
