Why Exercise: Benefits of Muscular Strength and Endurance Training

Over the last ten years, several studies have shown all ages and both genders benefit from muscular fitness training.

Health and Fitness benefits are:

Increased bone density- studies have shown women over the age of 35 can lose 1% of bone mass per year this can increase after menopause.Regular muscular strength training (resistance training) has shown to increase bone mineral content. For example women who performed resistance training twice a week,throughout the year, increased their bone density. Which benefits later in life, reduced bone fractures and osteoporosis!


Increased resting metabolic rate: Long term resistance training has shown to increase the resting metabolic rate i.e the energy required to maintain the functioning of the body at rest.High intensity training increases muscle tissue. which requires more energy.

Decreased body fat: Muscular fitness training can help to reduce body fat by increasing the resting metabolic rate and therefore the daily calorie expenditure.

Decreased blood pressure: regular resistance training has been shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Decreased blood cholesterol: several studies have shown resistance training has reduced blood cholesterol.

Improve self image: changes in muscle tone, shape and size can contribute massively to enhance self image.

Improved posture: push and pull type of muscular training can help to correct muscle imbalances.

Improved core stability: your core is your back, pelvis and shoulder girdle. Improving the ability for your trunk to support your everyday functional activities enables your muscles and joints to perform at their safest an the most effective position.

Decreased risk of injury: increased mobility and stability of the joints, stronger muscles and connective tissue result in a stronger body.
