If you've been thinking about incorporating strength training and weightlifting into your workout routine, understanding potential benefits can help you set your goals. As part of a comprehensive fitness routine, strength training can help in toning muscles, increasing metabolism, and building lean muscle.
Scientists have long known that strength training has a positive impact on your body. Conditions as varied as back pain, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, and insomnia can be partly managed by strength training and other exercise regimens. . Strong muscles never sleep. Studies have found that strength training can increase your metabolic rate (the rate at which your body converts energy stores into working energy) by up to 15%. This lets you burn more calories, even while you're sitting or sleeping. Coupled with the calories you use up during strength training workouts, this increase in metabolism may help you stay at a healthy weight or even lose some weight, provided you're eating right.
