Strength Training 101, How to Get Strong, Build Muscle : Why you Should Strength Train
Why you Should Strength Train :

Strength training will help you in virtually every area of your life. Here's a partial list of the benefits.

* Muscle Building. Strength training builds muscle - basically your body will grow more muscle to adapt to the demands you place on it through strength training. It's a by-product of increasing your strength.

* Fat Loss. Muscle mass will burn more calories whether you're actively working out, sitting on the couch or sleeping. More muscle mass thus increases your metabolism, which leads to fat loss. Men can get 10% body fat year round (six pack ab levels) by strength training and women can do the same (but at 15-20%).


* Good for your health. You'll not only strengthen your muscles, but also:

- strengthen your joints

- get more bone strength

- Get more endurance and stamina

- increase your work capacity

- Increase your testosterone levels

- lower cholesterol and get good blood pressure.

- get better sleep

- etc

* Builds Discipline. Strength training builds discipline by teaching you to have a goal and continually work towards it. You achieve success over time-you can use this same principle to achieve anything else in life you want.
