Strength Training

Regular strength training revs up your metabolic engine by building more muscle.

A 15 year study of more than 2,800 men and women conducted at the YMCA in

Quincy, Massachusetts, found that after the people participated in a regular strength-training program for 10 weeks, they gained on average 3 pounds of muscle and lost 4 pounds of fat. They also dropped 2 inches around the waist, and that was while making no significant dietary changes!

Let there be no doubt that strength training is an important component in promoting optimal health and fitness!
