Health Tip: Make Time for Strength Training
By LadyLively on May 10, 2017
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.
