Why everyone should do strength training
Increases basal metabolic rate & reduces body fat percentage
Strength training can help increase and maintain lean mass and thus increase basal metabolic rate. Especially when it comes to reducing belly fat, regular strength training seems to have a positive effect.
"Use it or lose it."
As we age, we lose muscle mass. In addition, muscles regress if they are not sufficiently stressed. Regular strength training helps to counteract this and maintain as much muscle mass as possible.
Improves bone density and the quality of connective and supporting tissue.
Bone density also decreases as part of the natural aging process and the risk of osteoporosis is increased. Women are more likely to experience bone loss due to declining estrogen levels during menopause.
Lack of physical activity also affects this. Strength training promotes bone metabolism and can thus help slow or reduce the decline in bone density.

Improves cardiovascular health
Endurance training isn't the only thing that has a positive effect on cardiovascular health. Strength training reduces some of the biggest risk factors for cardiovascular disease: it decreases body fat, reduces blood pressure at rest, and improves glycemic control.
May help alleviate symptoms of chronic conditions
Strength training can reduce symptoms of chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression, for example.
In addition, regular strength training improves posture, motor control, and functional and cognitive performance, and helps with stress management.
So if you want to make a long-term, sustainable investment in your health and well-being, you should incorporate regular strength training, two to three sessions per week, into your routine.
