Strength Training
CORE BENEFITS OF STRENGTH TRAINING
- Increased muscle mass and strength: Enhances your ability to perform daily activities with ease
- Improved bone density: Reduces risk of osteoporosis and fractures as you age
- Enhanced metabolism: Builds muscle that burns more calories even at rest
- Better body composition: Reduces body fat while increasing lean muscle
- Improved posture and balance: Prevents injuries and falls
- Reduced risk of chronic disease: Lowers risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers
- Enhanced mental health: Reduces anxiety, depression, and boosts confidence
TRAINING METHODS
ADAPTIVE RESISTANCE TRAINING
This method modifies resistance based on your strength curve throughout a movement:
- Provides optimal resistance at every point in the range of motion
- Reduces risk of injury from overloading weak positions
- Maximizes muscle fiber recruitment (Both fast and slow twitch)
- Overcomes plateaus by eliminating “easy” portions of exercises
TRADITIONAL WEIGHT TRAINING
Traditional weight training with barbells, dumbbells, and machines provides measurable progressive overload, making it ideal for building overall strength and muscle. The consistent resistance throughout movements helps develop functional strength that transfers to daily activities.
BAND TRAINING
Resistance bands offer variable resistance that increases as the band stretches, creating peak tension at different points in the movement. They are joint friendly and place a greater emphasis on stabilizing muscles.
BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION (BFR) TRAINING
BFR involves using specialized cuffs to partially restrict blood flow during exercise, allowing you to build muscle using lighter weights:
- Stimulates muscle growth with lighter loads (20-30% of max)
- Reduces joint stress while maintaining hypertrophy benefits
- Accelerates recovery by increasing growth hormone release
- Particularly beneficial for rehabilitation and older adults
