Why Strength Train?
Strength Training is IMPORTANT for EVERYONE, no matter your age, gender, level of fitness or lifestyle. But especially as we get older...
There are many BENEFITS to Strength Training:
* Building and maintaining Functional Strength to be able to keep moving & do everyday tasks (get upstairs, carry shopping, play with kids / grandkids)
* Build and maintain MUSCLE
Muscle mass naturally decreases with age so as we get older, we need to work to maintain it. The older we get, the harder we need to work to maintain our strength to continue to live well
* Builds and maintains BONE DENSITY and JOINT STRENGTH keeping us mobile & active
* Helps to PREVENT INJURY - generally - (particularly falls as we age) and in other sports or hobbies you may undertake
* IMPROVES PERFORMANCE in other sports (running, swimming, cycling, team sports - anything!)
* Improves & maintains MOBILITY & POSTURE, which suffer particularly for those with sedentary, desk based jobs
* Improves MENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING - especially training with others. Everyone who trains with me is very sociable & we like a laugh along the way!
