Benefits of strength and resistance training

Wouldn't you want to get started if you knew that a certain form of exercise could help your heart, improve your equilibrium, strengthen your bones, and help you lose weight while also making you look and feel better?  STRENGTH training, according to reports, will have all of these advantages and more.


Strength training — also known as weight or resistance training — is physical activity designed to improve muscular fitness by exercising a specific muscle or muscle group against external resistance, including free-weights, weight machines, or your own body weight.


How does strength training help? Apart from the well-publicized (and often Instagrammed) advantage of bringing tone and definition to your muscles, how does it help? Here are a few examples of the multiple possibilities.


  • Strength training helps you become stronger and fit.

Strength training is also known as resistance training because it involves contracting the muscles against a resisting force in order to strengthen and tone them. Resistance preparation can be divided into two categories:

  1. Isometric resistance: this entails contracting the muscles against a fixed force, such as the floor in a push-up.
  2. Isotonic strength training requires contracting muscles over a range of motion, comparable to weight lifting.
  • Strength training protects bone health and muscle mass.

Muscle-strengthening exercises help to maintain or improve muscle mass, strength, and power, all of which are essential for bone, joint, and muscle health as we get older. High-intensity resistance and impact exercise twice a week has been shown to increase functional efficiency.


  • Strength training aids in long-term weight loss.

Strength training aids weight loss by increasing your resting metabolism (the rate at which your body burns calories when you're just going about your day and not exercising).

  • Strength training aids in the development of good body mechanics.

Balance, agility, and posture are all improved through strength training.  One study found that strength training decreased the risk of falling by 40% in elderly adults who were at a higher risk of falling (and causing a lot of damage) due to poor physical functioning. They say, “The stronger those muscles, the better your balance.”

  • Strength training may aid in the treatment of chronic diseases.

Strength training has been shown to have a variety of health benefits, including assisting people with chronic illnesses in managing their symptoms. Strength training can be just as effective as medicine in reducing arthritis pain if you have it. 


Power training combined with other healthy lifestyle improvements, also help boost glucose regulation in those who have type 2 diabetes.


Strength training goes a long way in terms of supporting bone health, making aerobic exercise more productive, preventing injury, and facilitating healthy aging.
