Why Strength Training?
This is your best friend for aesthetic goals and maintaining overall health!
Let’s talk about aesthetic goals first.
When it comes down to changing body aesthetics, gaining muscle is a necessity. A lot of people take endless amounts of random fitness classes in order to get more “firm”, “toned” and have more muscular definition. However, taking random classes will not give enough and proper stimuli to cause your body to change. That’s when Strength Training comes into play — proper exercise programming together with proper nutrition and recovery will build the necessary muscles that, in time, will change your body to the desired aesthetic goals.
And what about health?!
Strength training is key to maintaining quality of life. Building muscles improves joint stability, bone density and chronic pain management . It gets people stronger to do daily tasks like carrying groceries, running around with your kids (and like a kid!), going up and down the stairs, taking the garbage out, etc. Strength Training can also assist in the loss of muscle mass that tends to happen with age, helping to prevent falls and injuries. Having adequate muscle mass is equally important for insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, mental health and general well being.
