JANA PITTMAN IMPORTANCE EXPLAINS THE OF STRENGTH TRAINING AS YOU GET OLDER

Big muscles... do we B like them or hate them? I guess it depends on what your ideal body shape is. Regardless, there is a misconception that strength training always equals masculine muscles.

Adding in strength and resistance training to your exercise routine has many more benefits than creating definition. It improves your heart health, bone health mood, reduces body fat, increases energy levels and metabolism, helps maintain flexibility and strength for movement, and improves cognitive function.
