Strength and Resistance Training

The gym is my favorite place!

Ask 100 women this year what their New Year’s resolution will be and a third will likely answer “weight loss” in to look fitter and more toned. Many of these women will join a gym (or actually start using their membership) and center their workout around high-intensity sessions on the treadmill, elliptical, or any other cardio machine. Running on the treadmill 4 days a week may help you lose body fat, but without adding on muscle, it won’t give you that tight, toned look. Strength training by utilizing some form of resistance is a much better approach than focusing only on cardio if your goal is to achieve a toned, healthy physique, and there’s a lot of science to support it. Research shows that adding resistance training as part of your workout routine is a proven method for increasing Lean Body Mass and reducing body fat for women. Read on to learn everything you need to know about strength training. We’ll separate fact from fiction, look at additional benefits of resistance training, learn how much training you need. In the end, we hope to encourage some of you who are on the fence about strength training to get on board and start experiencing its many benefits.
