Why Weights?

7 Benefits of Resistance Training

Many people still see weight training as being the same thing as body-building - and therefore avoid using weights because they don't want to look "big". The reality is to achieve those proportions requires a specific approach to both exercise and diet, and requires more time than most people can afford. However, a small amount of regular resistance training will shape and firm your muscles without creating bulk and has a number of other positive effects not only aesthetics. Here are just a few...

  1. Strength Improves quality of life as we age.
  2. More Muscle burns More Fat
  3. Strong Muscles Reduce Injuries
  4. Weight Training Strengthens Bones
  5. Strength Improves Self-Confidence
  6. Muscle Balance Improves Posture
  7. Resistance Training Keeps You Young
