benefits of strength training

Strength training is more than just pumping iron. It can help you lose weight, gain strength, and stay healthy.

Strength training involves using weights, resistance bands, machines or even your own body weight to build muscle and strength.

As we age, our muscles naturally weaken, making strength training all the more valuable in helping us stay strong as we get older. Given the endless benefits of strength training—including improved mood and sleep—it's no surprise that it's one of the most common forms of exercise among adults in the United States.
