Dementia Prevention & Strength Training — Why It Matters for Every Woman
If you're engaging in resistance/strength training, you will never want to stop!
If you’re NOT yet engaging in resistance or strength training, let this be your motivation to get started.
Becoming a Stronger Woman isn't just about looking toned — it's about protecting your brain and your body for years to come.
Professor Michael Valenzuela, leader of the Regenerative Neuroscience Group at the University of Sydney’s Brain and Mind Centre, puts it simply:
“Resistance exercise needs to become a standard part of dementia risk-reduction strategies.”
A groundbreaking long-term study from the University of Sydney showed that strength training led to noticeable improvements in cognitive performance. These benefits were directly linked to protecting critical areas of the brain — especially the hippocampus, a key player in memory and learning.
Just 90 minutes of strength training per week
Spread over 2–3 sessions — delivered brain-boosting results in the study. And all it took was using free weights, machines, or equipment under supervision.
So, girls the message is loud and clear
Your brain needs strength training just as much as your muscles do.
Keep showing up
Keep pushing and lifting
Keep getting stronger on our circuit and in the classes at KWS.
