Strength train to reach your fitness goals and lose weight!

Your health is the most valuable asset you have…without it you'll inevitably spend everything you have, financially and emotionally, to get it back!


Strength training is important regardless of your age and becomes even more important after age 30.

There are many ways that you can incorporate it into your life even if you think you can't.

Weight lifting on a repeated basis will help you to improve your physical appearance, fitness level and reduce your risk of health problems like heart disease.

Strength exercises on a regular basis will help you lose a lot of weight, a lot more than any cardio exercise ever could.

In addition, before doing any weight lifting, make sure you warm up your muscles properly. Don't do any weight lifting when your muscles are cold.

Warm up 5 to 10 minutes on a stationary bike, treadmill, etc. is sufficient.

You know that weight lifting is good for you, so make it a part of your every day routine. You can effectively exercise while keeping up with your other everyday-jobs.

When I’m out for a walk with my dogs, I find a bench or short wall and do push ups to fatigue, triceps dips and then repeat.  Walking lunges, squats can be done while watching TV...

Strength training helps you lose weight, improves your health so you can live a longer and more productive life.  Be sure to include strength training exercises in your over-all exercise plan.

I happen to agree with you that strength training is beneficial to practically everyone on the planet. Especially if you re attempting to lose weight. The metabolism boost is unequaled.

Definately agree with your opinion on strength training. At the end of the day, anything else we do we practise to try and get better so why not at this? I love the faster metabolic rate and it's even proven that you will live longer. Great post which truly tells people that weight lifting really can be fun and makes you lose weight!
