The 4 Benefits Of Strength Training

Strength is the foundation that all other qualities of fitness are built on. It’s your most powerful tool. Science-based training is simple and begins with strength. Here’s why it’s so integral to every part of your performance, looks and well being.

1. Combat aging?

A lack of strength and muscle mass has a direct correlation to early mortality. It turns back the clock, revs up our metabolism, prevents injury, reverses conditions such as cardiovascular disease, and gives us the freedom of mobility long into our twilight years.

2. Base quality of movement

Postural strength is more than core strength, it is the ability to actively support the spine and associated joints like your shoulders and hips.

3. Foundation of endurance

If being upright all day is fatiguing, imagine how much strength it takes to maintain correct posture through two hours of football, a six-hour bike race, or an all-day track and field event. When the posture begins to go, so do the biomechanical advantages that keep your performance optimal.

4. Coordination and ability

Full body compound movements improve the ability to react and respond to external forces as well as improve coordination, stability, power, strength, and speed. Make sure that the bulk of your workouts are focused on making you strong from the inside out.
