YOUR BENEFITS

Benefits of Strength Training:

• Reduces body fat- Adults who replace muscle tissue through sensible strength training use more calories all day long, as muscle tissue is the most active tissue in the body.
• Increases muscle mass- Strength training replaces the muscle tissue that has been lost through inactivity. Research shows a strength training program can also increase muscle mass by about 1.4kg over an 8 week training period.
• Increases bone mineral density- The same training stimulus that increases muscle strength also increases bone density and mineral content.
• Increases metabolism- Because muscle is very active tissue, the more you have, the higher your metabolism. Research indicates that an average adult experiences a 2% - 5% reduction in metabolic rate every decade of life. Because regular strength training prevents muscle loss, it also prevents the accompanying decrease in resting metabolic rate.
• Decreases the risk of injury- A stronger body helps protect and support the bodies joints during every day activity & during sporting activities.
