USE IT OR LOSE IT: WHY Strength TRAINING MATTERS

2/25/2021

5 Comments

 
Like most people, you may believe cardio is the best way to get fit. While cardiovascular training is an important component of fitness, strength training prioritizes building lean muscle mass, which is a gift that keeps on giving.

Strength training (aka resistance or weight training) can be anything from body-weighted exercises to lifting very heavy weights. It is a key component of overall health and fitness for everyone.

The Benefits

  • Develop strong bones. Strength training increases bone mineral density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis.
  • Fire up your Metabolism. Lean muscle mass boosts your metabolic rate and burns  calories all day long. 
  • Enhance your quality of life. Strength training can improve your balance and function, your ability to perform everyday activities. It can also increase your self-esteem, reduces anxiety, and improves cognitive function.
  • Manage chronic pain. Strength training can reduce the symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, heart disease, depression, and diabetes​​

Thinking about transferring IRA to gold and silver to minimize exposure to stock market fluctuations.
