3. Age gracefully with more muscle mass.
As we get older strength training is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Physical independence is a key factor in a great quality of life.
A comprehensive study of strength training has been proven to:
- Improve motor function
- Lower resting heart rate
- Increase stamina
- Prevent sarcopenia (age related muscle loss)
- Improve bone mineral density
- Prevent and help rehab injuries
Functional strength training will be an asset in daily life too. From picking up grandchildren or bags of groceries to climbing stairs with confidence. This is one of our main goals at D8 Training in Clarence Gardens, to help you become a more functional human being with strength that you can use in everyday life.
So, be Active. Strength train a minimum of 3 days per week. The body needs good stress to stay strong and healthy. Joints need to move through full ranges of motion to stay healthy. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments need good stress to stay strong. The body adapts to the environment around it. If you don’t strength train, the body will get weaker over time and more susceptible to injury.
Follow a strength training program with good structural balance. It is very important to train all of the muscle groups in the body. If you train some but neglect others, you are setting yourself up for injury. Imbalances of the body cause a lack of joint integrity which means joints are strong on one side but weak on the other side. The bigger the imbalance the more risk of injury.
We would love to help you live a healthy strong life. Schedule a Free Intro Session at D8 Training in Clarence Gardens today.
