Strength Training Benefits

• Strength training or resistance training involves the performance of physical exercises which are designed to improve strength and endurance. It is often associated with the use of weights. It can also incorporate a variety of training techniques such as weight training calisthenics , isometrics, and plyometrics.
• Improves your ability to do everyday activities: The stronger your muscles, the easier it is  to do everyday tasks, like carrying the shopping, lifting your child or      gardening.
• Improves your balance and stability: The stronger and more resilient your muscles, the sturdier your balance. This will help keep you safe in your daily activities and decreases the risk of falls or accidents.
•  Builds muscle strength: Adults lose between five and seven pounds of muscle every decade after age 40. Strength training will help prevent this muscle loss and rebuild what you may have lost. Regular strength or resistance training is good for people of all ages and fitness levels to help prevent the natural loss of lean muscle mass that comes with aging (the medical term for this loss is sarcopenia).
•  Decreases your risk of osteoporosis: Inactivity and aging can lead to a decrease in bone density, leading to brittleness. Studies have shown that consistent strength training can increase bone density, prevent, and may reverse osteoporosis.
• Reduces blood pressure:  Strength training can be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of high blood pressure by strengthening the heart, allowing it to beat more efficiently.
• Increases calorie burn: Strength training can help you to take control of your weight and even lose weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. But muscle increases your metabolism, and a higher metabolism helps you burn more calories. 
• Reduces low back pain: Research has shown that strength training can increase low back strength and alleviate low back pain. By strengthening the muscles that have become inactive and stretching the muscles that are overactive from long periods of sitting at a desk your posture will help solve your lower back issues.
• Strength Training for runners can be particularly beneficial, helping to reduce injury, and pain when running.
