Resistance Training is a VITAL
component in any fitness program.
Since our lean muscle mass naturally
diminishes with age, and undergoes atrophy (degeneration and
wasting away) as a result of our modern,
sedentary lifestyles, a resistance exercise program plays a
CRUCIAL role in mitigating the above negative effects and more.
In fact, numerous scientific studies and research
in recent years have also proven that a regular resistance training program
brings about a host of related benefits such as the following:
-
Preserve and increase our lean muscle mass,
-
Improve our bone density,
-
Boost our metabolism, thereby
helping us to maintain a healthy weight,
-
Decrease our risk of muscle
and joint injuries, and helps to
-
Better manage existing
medical conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease
etc.
And in case you're wondering,
resistance training is NOT just about hoisting heavy iron
over your head!
Though free weights such as barbells,
dumbbells and kettlebells are commonly used, other implements such
as: resistance bands/tubings, medicine balls, sand
bags and even your own bodyweight can be used as
resistance tools in your workout!
However,
as with all other exercise modalities, resistance training does come
with its own risks and hazards.
To prevent unnecessary injuries and
mishaps, it's absolutely crucial that you get appropriate guidance
and suitable advice from professionals.
