Weightlifting – What Are the Mental Health Benefits?

June 23, 2020 by Terry Clark

How can weightlifting benefit your mental health? This year brings several changes and new trends: one of which is an increasing trend of weightlifting. The benefits of weightlifting are much more significant than just fat loss.

Weightlifting is not just for bodybuilders: anyone interested can get it; all you need to do is plan your workout. However, let’s discuss how weightlifting provides numerous benefits to the body: physical and mental health benefits.

So, in this article, we will discuss in detail the essential mental health benefits of weightlifting.

Benefits of weightlifting for mental health

Here are the essential benefits of weightlifting:

●   Reduce stress:

It helps to release endorphins in your body when you engage in physical activity like weightlifting. The excellent news is endorphins are your most prominent friends, as they provide you with that ‘feel-good factor.’

These endorphins can help you to fight against mental health issues like stress, anxiety, or depression. It can also clarify your thoughts: putting you in a better position to handle problems and make decisions.

●     Boost cognitive function:

Several studies support the fact that strength training workouts help improve mental health and delay memory decline. Therefore, weightlifting improves cognitive functions by improving your memory, attention, and decision-making power.

Another study has proven that when people with mild cognitive impairment engage in weightlifting, it improves their cognitive abilities.

●     Improves overall well-being:

Due to the secure connection between weightlifting and mental health, a person’s overall well-being is improved. It suppresses or delays several problems like heart diseases and helps to control hypertension.

Engaging yourself in some robust physical activity helps you improve your overall performance and lets you live a great life.

●     Raise self-esteem:

When you lift the weight, it will help you to see yourself in an entirely new light. It completely changes your perspective towards life and lets you see things differently, improving your confidence and self-esteem.

Generally, fans of fitness are more focused on staying healthy and fit than becoming a size zero. These workouts give you the confidence to accept yourself, make peace with your flaws, and work on your strengths.

●     Boost energy:

Despite what you might think, weightlifting cannot leave you sluggish. But instead, it boosts your energy. Weightlifting has a strong effect on how we think and feel: it can improve your sleep pattern and allow you to get a good night’s sleep. Good sleep can regulate hormones, reduce stress, and help you lose weight, allowing you to feel more energetic.

Last words on how weightlifting can benefit your mental health

Weightlifting can help to fulfill your goal of healthy living. There are numerous benefits of weightlifting one can enjoy, of which we have mentioned some of the most important ones. I recommend all of you start weightlifting and take your initiative towards a better lifestyle.
