Strength Training Isn’t Just For Bodybuilders

By Suzanne Holman • September 12th, 2009

The old idea that strength training is for body builders and women shouldn’t do it if they don’t want to get bigger is a huge myth!
Strength training is extremely important as part of any workout. It pays off in great emotional as well as physical benefits.

If you want to maintain your bone and muscle strength, you definitely need to turn your attention to strength training. Once we’ve gone through puberty, the rest of your life you will begin to lose about 1 percent of your bone and muscle strength every year. This is true for both men and women.

This is supported by a health professional who has done the research and sees this happening on a daily basis.
“One of the best ways to stop, prevent, and even reverse bone and muscle loss is to add strength training to your workouts,” advises Troy Tuttle, MS, an exercise physiologist at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston.”

Find some strength training that you would enjoy and include it in your schedule on a regular basis. Your body will thank you for it!
