30-Minute Total Body Strength Workout

The Benefits of Strength Training

Strength training provides many benefits for both physical and mental health. It can help build lean muscle mass, improve bone density, boost metabolism, and burn calories. Strength training also reduces risk for injury and helps improve balance and coordination.

Getting Started

When getting started with strength training, it’s important to learn proper form to avoid injury. Start with lighter weights focusing on higher reps to allow your muscles to adapt. Also be sure to warm up beforehand and stretch afterwards. It’s best to start with 2-3 strength sessions per week and rest your muscles for at least a day between sessions.
