Benefits of Strength Training

Strength training is not just something we do to build up muscle to look like the Spartans from the movie 300. There are many physical and psychological benefits that you can receive from strength training. Strength training increases metabolic rate, even after you are done working out your body still continues to burn calories (which is good for weight loss). Studies also show that with regular strength training your bones become more dense thus helping prevent osteoporosis. And above all not only do you begin to look good after a while, but you also feel good about yourself. Here are a few other benefits…

-decreased risk of heart disease

-good for rehabilitation

-improves balance, stability, mobility, and flexibility

-increases fat free mass.
