How is your strength training?

Filed Under Exercise · Tagged:  

Congratulations if you are already working out at the gym!

If you are doing aerobic exercising only, you are missing out on a major part of the fitness equation! 

Here are some of the benefits of strength training:

  • Increase metabolic rate- the more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day.
  • Improve and restore bone density… as powerful if not more than the drugs your doctor hands out.
  • Increase lean muscle mass, muscle strength and power – you will feel the difference in almost any daily activity you do.
  • Prevent injuries or rehabilitate an injury- the stronger you are, more sports and life related injuries can be avoided. When you strengthen the muscles surrounding an injured area, the quicker the healing process will be.
  • Improve your balance and flexibility- this diminishes as you age, but you can reverse or stop it from happening with proper strength training.
  • Improve Posture- most of the time poor posture is simply a matter of a weak core, you don’t have to go through life slouching.
  • Feel and look better- Leaner and toned muscles make anyone feel better about their appearance, giving you more self esteem and self confidence.
