Exercise helps to increase your self-esteem 🤸🏽‍♂️🏃🏿🏃🏼‍♀️🚶🏾

🌈 Self-esteem is defined as the assessment of our personal perception of our attributes and qualities.
🌈 The number of people experiencing low self-esteem has increased drastically in the past couple of years.
🌈 One of the ways to combat a low self-esteem is through increasing your muscle mass with exercise.

How to increase Muscle mass: 🏋🏻‍♂️🏋🏾

Resistance training promotes muscle growth. Examples of resistance training include
🏋🏻‍♂️ The use of free weights
🏋🏾 Weight machines
🧘🏽‍♂️ Your own body weight or
🏃🏼‍♀️ Resistance bands
💥 Suggestions include training 2-3x per week to give your muscles time to recover.

Benefits:
☀️ Short Term: Exercises enhances your mood and helps to create a more positive state of mind allowing us to think more positively about ourselves.
☀️ Long term: Exercise makes us feel better about our physical self, such as our abilities and physique
☀️ Long term and short term: Exercising with the aim to increase muscle mass will provide us with a sense of accomplishment that can boost ourself confidence.

All this together will improve the way we look at ourselves and our self-talk which will boost our self-esteem through exercise. 🏋🏾💥🧘🏽‍♂️

It is important to have the correct technique with especially resistance training, to avoid other possible training injuries.

A Biokineticist can help you with an individualized exercise program specific to your body type and can teach you the correct training techniques to benefit most from your exercises.
