Strength training is beneficial at all ages, levels and abilities. The act of strength training puts resistance against a movement to work the muscles, tearing muscle fibers in the process (this is why you may be sore after a strength training workout). When the muscles repair themselves, you build muscle mass, gain strength and give a boost to your metabolism. Watch our short video for more benefits associated with strength training.
