Why training is essential

For many of us strength and resistance training is the final frontier. The ACSM position stand states that performing these activities 2-3 times per week, for 30-45 minutes, decreases the loss of muscle mass (atrophy) across your lifetime while maintaining your basal metabolic rate, or the rate at which the body burns energy.

Strength and resistance training also promotes an increase in bone density preventing Osteoporosis. The maintenance of a strong and healthy MIND/BODY, as a multi-faceted approach through strength training, flexibility training (Yoga), cardiovascular training, and proper nutrition, will sustain a superior quality of life.
