The benefits of exercise stretch far beyond the need for doing it for weight-control reasons only. Exercise is crucial for our physical and mental health. Keeping a healthy body weight is essential for optimal health. Eating a healthy balanced diet along with an exercise program is ideal for good health and longevity. Want to reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently? Strength training to the rescue!
Strength training helps you develop strong bones. By stressing your bones, strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. As you gain muscle, your body begins to burn calories more efficiently. The more toned your muscles, the easier it is to control your weight. As you get stronger, you won’t fatigue as easily. Building muscle also contributes to better balance, which can help you maintain independence as you age. Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, including back pain, arthritis, obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Strength training the a key component of overall health and fitness for everyone!
