WHY DO WEIGHT TRAINING?

Weight training can help you perform your daily activities, like carrying groceries and lifting objects, more easily. It can also help reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis, back pain, high blood pressure and diabetes. Aim to do muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups such as legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms. If you are unsure of what exercises to do, or how to maintain proper form, talk to a certified personal trainer.
