• Improved heart health: Multiple studies have shown that regular strength-training decreases blood pressure, lowers cholesterol (i.e., total and LDL levels), and improves blood circulation. • Helps manage your blood sugar levels: Strength training may also reduce your risk of developing diabetes by helping reduce and maintain blood sugar levels. • Improved mobility and flexibility: Weaker muscles tend to have less range of motion. Strength training increases joint range of motion allowing for greater mobility and flexibility. • Improved bone strength: Strength training is crucial for bone development by putting temporary stress on your bones, resulting in improved bone strength. Strong bones reduce your risk of osteoporosis, fractures, and falls, especially as you age.
