Strength Training
Strength/Resistance Training uses resistance to induce muscular contraction. If done regularly it can help to increase bone density, and improve muscle, tendon and ligament strength and toughness. It can also:
- Improve joint function and reduce the potential for injury.
- Reduce body fat, burn calories and increase lean muscle mass
- Boost your stamina. As you get stronger, you won't fatigue as easily
- Sharpen your focus. Some research suggests that regular strength training helps improve attention for older adults
