9 Benefits of Strength Training

There was a time when very few adults included strength training in their fitness routine. It was considered extreme, unnecessary, and even dangerous.

Strength training is a fantastic way to challenge your muscles using resistance, helping you build strength and endurance along the way! You can try this with all sorts of tools, including traditional weights, exercise bands, medicine balls, cable machines, sandbags, kettlebells, or even just your own body weight. It's all about finding what works best for you and having fun while you get stronger!

Times have certainly changed as a multitude of strength training benefits were proven by experts, including:

• Strength and muscle tone
