Why Strength training

Regular exercise can help you control your weight, reduce your risk of heart disease, and strengthen your bones and muscles. Muscle mass naturally diminishes with age. If you do not work out your bodies naturally looses lean muscle and increases the percentage of fat in your body.
Strength training helps increase bone strength and muscular fitness. It also helps you maintain muscle mass during a weight-loss program. With a regular strength training program, you can reduce your body fat, increase your lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently.

Exercise controls weight

Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.

Develop strong bones.

By stressing your bones, strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.

Control your weight.

As you gain muscle, your body gains a bigger “engine” to burn calories more efficiently — which can result in weight loss. The more toned your muscles, the easier it is to control your weight.

Reduce your risk of injury.

Building muscle helps protect your joints from injury. It also contributes to better balance, which can help you maintain independence as you age.
Boost your stamina. As you get stronger, you won’t fatigue as easily.

Manage chronic conditions.

Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, including arthritis, back pain, depression, diabetes, obesity and osteoporosis.

Sharpen your focus.

Some research suggests that regular strength training helps improve attention for older adults

Exercise promotes better sleep

Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep.

Exercise boosts energy

Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise and physical activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and help your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. When your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you work more efficiently.

Excercise improves mood

Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
