9 Benefits of Strength Training
Strength Training is defined as the performance of physical exercise, often using resistance of different forms for the purpose of improved strength and endurance. Strength training uses everything from barbells, to bands, to balls, to our own bodies.
1. Strength Training Builds Muscles:
Don’t worry, ladies. This does NOT mean that you’re going to ‘bulk up’ or look too masculine. What will happen is that your arms, tummy and legs will become tighter, leaner and more defined.
2. Strength Training Burns Fat:
When it comes to losing size, all that you want to see disappear is fat, not muscle. Strength training ensures that you maintain and grow those muscles and only lose fat.
3. Strength Training Builds Strong Bones:
The older we get, the more important our bone density is. A good strength training program is one of your best defenses against osteoporosis.
4. Strength Training Alleviates Anxiety, Stress and Depression:
Sure, there are plenty of pills out there that claim to give these benefits, but just know that strength training is the more wholesome and effective way. And besides, who really wants pharmaceutical side effects?
