Jess L Hunt Strength Training – The Benefits
“Strength training isn’t just for those looking to bulk up their muscles for summer. In fact, strength training can help anyone, with benefits ranging from physical and emotional, to mental! Strength training encompasses anything that strengthens and tones muscles against resisting force and can be done at home without equipment or in the gym. Isometric resistance involves contracting muscles against a non-moving object, such as push-ups. Isotonic strength training, on the other hand, involves contracting your muscles through a range of motion, such as when weightlifting. Both types of training have benefits and incorporating strength training into your regular workout routine has long-lasting health benefits.” – Center for Healthy Eating and Activity Research (CHEAR)
