How You Can Improve Your Life With Strength Training
While it may sound unrealistic, it’s true. Strength training can truly improve most, if not all aspects of your life.
Let me share with you exactly how.
Firstly, let’s unpack “strength training”.
Strength training — commonly referred to as weights training, resistance training, or hypertrophy training — encompasses any form of resistance to create mechanical tension through the muscle.
For most people, the goal of incorporating this area of training is to gain muscle and lose body fat, aka “tone up”. But unless genetics are on your side, the ability to pack on lean muscle mass is much harder than you think.
It takes years to build lean muscle mass naturally through appropriate nutrition intake and consistent resistance training (approx. 2-4 hours per week pumping iron).
Given the long term commitment to strength training for (little) immediate return, why has strength training become the “go-to” training method for millennials today?
