Find
New Strength This Year — Benefits of Proper Strength Training
Jan 28, 2016
Reducing body fat, increasing muscle
mass and burning more calories are all goals we have when we workout, right?
Proper strength training can help you with each of these goals. Strength
training isn’t just for men and women and body builders who “pump iron,” there
are many benefits to your overall health and fitness from proper strength
training.
Increased Muscle Mass
As your body gets older, you begin
to lose muscle mass. Unfortunately, when you lose muscle, you gain fat. By
incorporating strength training into your workout routine, you’ll slow down the
muscle loss and build lean muscle, which ultimately burns more fat.
Weight Control
Strength training can help you
control your weight. As you build muscle strength, you’ll burn more calories
which will help you control and even lose weight. Your muscles will even
continue to burn calories after your workout.
Manage Pain from Health
Conditions
If you suffer from arthritis, back
pain, obesity, heart disease or diabetes, strength training can help you manage
your condition. The stronger your muscles are around these conditions, the
greater of a chance you have to fight them off.
Better Balance &
Flexibility
You may not think of strength
training as a way to improve balance and flexibility, but as you build muscles,
you’ll notice that your balance and flexibility will become better; which helps
reduce your risk of injury.
Build your Mental Strength
Strength training can do more than
build your muscles; it can also help build your mental game as well. As you
move through the year and continue to work out, you’ll notice that your focus and
mental sharpness improves. The coordination that strength training takes keeps
your brain in shape and gives you a greater mental awareness for body
positioning and body control.
As you fine tune your workout
routine for this year, talk to your personal trainer about incorporating
strength training. If you don’t have a personal trainer, you can find one at
Fitness Together®. A Fitness Together® personal trainer

your body. Find a Fitness Together® studio at www.fitnesstogether.com.
