October 16, 2018 - The Journey of Strength

Upon review of the research, strength training is one
of the best activities that adds nothing but benefits.
The research has proven that strength training
maintains and improves muscle mass as we get older;
even at the young age of 80 we can still improve
strength, which leads to greater degrees of
independence.
It has been shown that strength training also improves
cognitive abilities, and has benefits for Alzheimer’s. It
improves our overall all health, including nervous
system activity, hormonal activity, blood pressure, and
diabetes. When you are strong, you can be as active as
you want to be, and do the things you want to do.
Strength, to us, is an exciting adventure of self-
challenges with great rewards, not to mention the
benefits of being stronger for sport whether it is
