Why You Need to Be A Stronger You

Everyone should incorporate strength training into their weekly workouts.

Regardless of your goals or training preferences, a portion of your weekly routine should involve picking heavy things up and putting them down.

Why? A stronger you is capable of more, now and as you age.

Benefits of Strength Training:

• Fat Loss: a stronger you will burn more calories daily, reducing the need for drastic calorie cuts to achieve fat loss. Strength training builds muscle mass, which increases your metabolic rate. AKA: hours after resistance training, your body will keep burning calories.  

• Increased Energy: a stronger you will have more energy to engage in activities without needing frequent breaks, whether on vacation or in your daily life. AKA: you will have time to do the things you love without getting tired as quickly, and you will feel better.

• Improved Bone Health: a stronger you will have healthy bones and recover more quickly from falls, or even prevent them altogether. A 2023 study highlighted by the Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy focused on evidence supporting the benefits of resistance training for improving bone mineral density (BMD), particularly in areas most affected by osteoporosis. AKA: strength training can slow bone loss, and some studies show it can even build bone.  

Many people worry about 'getting bulky.' However, strength training can create a lean, toned physique. Proper form is important to prevent injuries.  

People also worry that it is hard. Truth bomb: it is, but mainly in the beginning, and the right certified trainer can ease you into it. The best part is that you get to define what "stronger" means for you.
