Strength Training for Brain and Body

Strength training is a fundamental part of a healthy lifestyle.

On my Restore Your Body Programme, it involves a once a week commitment, but what is strength training?

It is a form of exercise that uses weight bearing or resistance equipment to exert pressure on your muscles, bones and connective tissues.

This pressure causes a microscopic breakdown of these tissues, that subsequently repair stronger. A healthy diet and relaxation are important factors with this repair phase.

In a previous blog I wrote this list about why we do strength training…

Build new muscles
Maintain muscle tone
Vital as part of a weight loss programme
Multiple health benefits/disease prevention
Bone strength
Injury prevention
Enhanced postural alignment
Improvement in sports performance
Stress reduction and mood enhancer
Feeling empowered

However that’s not a full list and studies now show that this sort of exercise increases the health of your brain (see below for links).
