Strength Training

• Stronger and fitter

Muscle strength is crucial in making it easier to do the things you need to do on a day-to-day basis especially as we get older and naturally start to lose muscle.

• Protects bone health

Strength training works on bones much like it works on muscles by making them stronger. Because bone is a living tissue, it changes in response to the forces placed upon it.

• Muscle mass helps to keep weight off

Strength training is an important way to boost your weight loss. Weight training builds muscle, and muscle burns more calories than fat-up to three times more.

• Better body mechanics

Training to develop strength is important for maximizing performance in most sports, especially for contact sports. Being strong gives the athlete a foundation to improve explosive power.

• Help with chronic disease management

Strength training can slow the progression of a disease and reduce the impact and severity of the symptoms experienced. Building a higher ratio of muscle mass to fat mass is an essential step towards preventing chronic diseases.

• Boosts energy levels

Strength training raises your circulating levels of endorphins, which serve to improve not only your mood, but gives you an increase in your energy level as well

• More calories burned post workout

The more intense your workout, the longer it takes for your body to return to resting state, and the more calories you will burn.
