Why Fitness Strength Training Is So Important

Why Fitness Strength Training Is So Important

Fitness strength training is important for a healthy and pain-free life

 

Fitness strength training is for everyone, not just those muscle-bound men on the beach or stage. When you exercise with weights and resistance bands, you work your muscles a lot more than just doing aerobics such as walking, swimming or jogging.

When it comes to muscles, if you don’t use them, you will lose them. Muscles need to be constantly worked, which means contracted and flexed, to remain strong. Why is that important? Because when you work out your muscles, your whole body responds.

1- Strength training helps to develop stronger bones and reduce osteoporosis.

2- It helps control your weight by burning more calories.

3- It boosts your stamina so you do not become so fatigued.

4- Building up your muscles helps to support your body’s organs so they function better. You breathe deeper, have less digestive problems and better blood circulation.

5- It reduces your chances for injury because your muscles cushion your joints.

6- It helps you battle chronic diseases such as Diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, back pain, and sleeplessness.

When you work out and your muscles respond, you feel better physically, and mentally. With your blood circulating better, you have more clarity of thought and your mind is sharper. Using fitness strength training such as weights and resistance bands helps oxygen and nutrients to flow through your body, giving it what it needs, including your brain.

Combined with a good nutritious diet of lean meats, fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains and natural supplements, working out with weights through fitness strength training can get you the body you have always wanted – fast. You’ll be amazed how much better your body functions, inside and out.

Even the Mayo Clinic emphasizes the need for fitness strength training to live a more healthy lifestyle. Most physicians, personal trainers, nutritionists, and chiropractors agree that working with weights should be a part of everyone’s daily exercise routine as much as aerobics.

Professional athletes know that to stay on top of their game, they have to understand how important daily fitness strength training is for their bodies. No matter if they play professional football or golf, bike, ski, swim or play hockey, keeping their muscles toned, flexible and strong is the only way they can excel at their sport.

For the rest of us, fitness strength training is important as well. If you want to live a healthier, longer and pain-free life, include weight and resistance exercises in your daily workout. You will soon see the difference.
