Looking to tone up? Get stronger? Want to burn some of that stubborn fat? With strength training you have the opportunity to do all three at once!
Running isn't the only way to burn calories and fat. Resistance training can be just as effective. The body burns fat to function and live. The more muscle you have the more your body needs fuel to keep it moving. I.E. your metabolism speeds up when you have more muscle! When the body builds more muscle and the fat trims off, you will have a better overall shape!
Not only that, but resistance training can help you train longer without injury. Be wary of over use injuries stemming from a single style of exercise. By chosing a resistance training program that keeps you moving in multiple directions, the body will be better prepared for the demands of every day life.
