Strength Training… why again?

Here’s a quick reminder of why including some Strength Training in your week is a good idea:

What Strength training will do for you:

• Increase metabolism, burning more calories whilst resting.
• It burns body fat.
• Increases bone strength.
• You’ll look better in your clothes, and out of them.
• Makes life easier – No more struggling (you’ll look for strenuous tasks to show off your new found strength).
• Reduce injury risk – A strong body is going to cope with demands more effectively, particularly if you play sport
• Improves your posture and muscular balance.
• Aids flexibility and mobility.
• Psychological benefits include increased confidence and reduction in symptoms of  depression.
• Easier to gain muscle mass and burn body fat increased via increased work capacity.

What it definitely won’t do:

• Won’t give you bulky and stiff muscles.
• Negatively affect your temperament (make you moody).
• Stunt your growth.
• Slow you down (if you’re a runner). You’ll actually get faster!
