Why Weightlifting is Important at ALL Ages- Especially for Women

Written By Lindsay Warren

Just like the saying goes, 'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second-best time is now.' When it comes to building strength and promoting bone health, there's no better time to start than right now.

As Women, Osteoporosis is a condition of great concern and is characterized by fragile and weak bones. However, the good news is that weight lifting can be a powerful weapon against this silent threat.

Engaging in weight-bearing exercises, like lifting weights, helps to:

  • stimulate bone growth

  • increase bone density

  • and strengthen the skeletal system.

The pressure exerted on bones during weight lifting stimulates bone-forming cells, making them denser and less susceptible to fractures.

Building strong bones is not a matter of age; it's a matter of dedication and commitment to your well-being. Whether you're in your teens, twenties, thirties, or beyond, every moment is an opportunity to invest in your bone health and overall strength.

My name is Lindsay Warren and I am a women’s powerlifting gym owner, the Powerlifting Meet Director for Girls Gone Rx, an NCAA National Champion, Level 2 CF Trainer, USAW Certified Weightlifting Coach, and a rescue dog mom.

I am originally from Los Angeles and made my way to Denver back in 2014 and am constantly in awe of the beauty the Colorado mountains share. I first opened my gym in 2015 as CrossFit Kali and have slowly shifted our focus to strength training throughout the years. We now have multiple lifting platforms and cater all of our programming for the female physique and have the best community out there!

When I’m not in the gym or coaching, you’ll find me wandering the trails in rocky mountains.
