Now’s The Time To Get Strong

The benefits of strength training are tremendous, and the long term and short term effects are worth their weight in gold. Here’s what happens when you start focussing on strength training:

• Your workouts get easier and more enjoyable as your strength increases.
• Your confidence both inside and outside of the gym will likely get a bump in the right direction!
• You’ll increase your tendon and ligament strength which helps decrease your risk of injury.
• You’ll increase your bone density and muscle tissue. (One of the best ways to maintain healthy bone density as you age is to regularly train strength.)
• If you’re a competitor, focussed strength will not only give you an edge, but also help you stave off injury.
• You’ll find that everyday, normal activities get so much easier the stronger you get.

Can we talk about that last one for a second, the one about how normal, daily activities get so much easier as strength increases? This is a HUGE benefit. Suddenly, things like playing with your kids, bringing groceries inside, or going hiking on vacation feel, well, effortless. And when daily life gets easier, your outlook gets brighter. So if you thought that working on strength was just for folks who wanted to get big, bulky biceps, think again! Focused strength training is for everyone.
