When your goals are to build muscle , burn body fat, and improve your health there are 3 areas of importance to focus on – nutrition, cardio, and weight training.
Many people jump straight into the deep end of dieting and cardio without much thought for weight training. If you really want to take control of how you look and feel then make sure you place just as much emphasis on planning your weight training.
The list of benefits weight training offers is massive, the most obvious being the ability to reshape the structure of your body through building more muscle.
For the record here are a few of the added bonuses weight training develops:
– Stronger, heavier bones
– Strengthened tendons, ligaments, greater flexibility, all contributing to reduced risk for muscle strains and pains
– Slowed onset of age related muscle degradation
