Joshua’s Top 10 Reason’s to start Strength
Training
1. Increased Metabolic Rate
- Strength training increases the body's metabolic rate, causing the body to
burn more calories throughout the day.
2. Increasing and Restoring Bone Density -
Inactivity and aging can lead to a decrease in bone density and brittleness.
Studies have clearly proven that consistent strength training can increase bone
density and prevent Osteoporosis.
3. Increased Lean Muscle Mass and Muscle
Strength, Power, and Endurance - Everyone can benefit from being
stronger. We can work harder, we can play more, we can workout longer, and we
can be more alive.
4. Injury Prevention -
A wide variety of sports-related or life-related injuries can be prevented by
strengthening muscles and joints.
5. Improved Balance, Flexibility, Mobility
and Stability - Stronger and more resilient muscles
improves our balance, which means more comfortable living & fewer falls or
accidents.
6. Decreased Risk of Coronary Disease
- Participation in a consistent strength-training program has a wide variety of
affiliated health benefits including decreasing cholesterol and lowering your
blood pressure.
7. Aids Rehabilitation and Recovery
- One of the best ways to heal many types of injuries is to strengthen muscles
surrounding the injured area. The stronger your muscles, the quicker the
healing process.
8. Enhanced Performance in Sports or
Exercise - No matter what your favorite sport or physical
activity, with the proper strength training program, your performance can
unquestionably be improved, and in some cases dramatically so.
9. Aging Gracefully
- There is no more important reason to making a strength training a consistent
part of your life, than to ensure you age gracefully. Physical activity keeps
us alive and vibrant. Strength training ensures we are strong enough to
participate in aerobic activities, outdoor recreation, and sports. Strong
seniors fall down less. If they do fall down, their stronger bodies are more
resilient, are injured less by the fall, and are able to heal more quickly
after an injury.
10. Feeling Better and
Looking Better - As painful as strength training can sometimes feel, there
is nothing more satisfying than the feeling after a good solid work-out.
Stronger muscles and joints can have a dramatic impact on posture and leaner
toned muscles tend to make everyone feel better about their appearance. This
all leads to improved self-esteem and increased self-confidence..
