  Building Strength


Strength training can increases strength, balance and agility. In addition, it may increase your basal metabolic rate which could assist you in maintaining a healthy weight. A stregnth training regimen should be combined with cardiovascular exercise and stretching for a well-rounded fitness regimen.


Furthermore, strength training has other health benefits like any other type of exercise. It results in a release of “endorphins” which cause a general feeling of wellness. Strength training also relaxes the body. People who exercise regularly have more energy and lead a more stress free life.
