 reasons to add strength training to your workout routine

If you know that some type of exercise could benefit your heart, improve your balance, strengthen your bones and help you lose weight because it made you look and feel better, you do not want to start? Well, studies show that strength training can do all this and more. Strength training is not only for bodybuilders lifting weights in a gym. You can benefit from all ages and can be especially important for people with health problems such as arthritis or heart disease.

Strength Training: Benefits

Yes, strength training will add definition to your muscles and gives men and women the most fit and toned bodies. But working with weights does more:

1. Strength training helps keep weight off forever.

Not only strength training helps to lose pounds, it helps to maintain weight loss also. A recent study found that women who have trained weight 3 times a week routine have increased the amount of calories burned in normal daily activity (in addition to the burned during exercise), helping to keep your Weight.

2. Muscle training protects bone health and muscle mass.

After puberty, whether it be a man or a woman, you begin to lose about 1 percent of their muscle and bone strength each year. "One of the best ways to stop, prevent and even reverse the loss of bone and muscle is to add strength training to your workouts," advises Troy Tuttle, MS, a physiologist at Exercise at the University of Texas School of Medicine in Houston.

3. Strength training makes you stronger and more fit.

Strength training is also called resistance training because it involves strengthening and toning your muscles shrink against a strength of resistance. There are two types of resistance training:

• Isometric resistance involves contraction of the muscles against an object that does not move, like the ground in a push-up.

• The formation of isotonic force involves contracting your muscles through a range of movement and weight lifting.

Both make you stronger and can put you in better shape. Remember that strength with training your muscles need time to recover, so it should only be done every other day. Always take the time to warm up and cool down after strength training.

4. Strength training helps you develop better body mechanics.

Strength training has advantages that go far beyond the appearance of well-toned muscles. It improves balance and coordination.
