Strength training uses resistance to build muscle size, strength and endurance.

The American Council on Exercise mentions these potential benefits:

• Increases independence, improves quality of life and requires less effort to perform daily activities.
• Increases the movement of food through the digestive tract, which may reduce your risk of colon cancer.
• May lower resting blood pressure, and reduce risk of back pain.
• Helps manage pain from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
