Both balance and coordination improves, subsequently improving postural control. Strength training has been shown to reduce the risk of falls by up to 40% in the elderly.

  1. Prevention of chronic, lifestyle diseases

Strength training has continued to show that it is as effective as some medications in reducing pain relating to arthritic conditions. Postmenopausal women are showing increased bone density and a reduction in risk of boney fractures. Strength training also helps control and improve glucose metabolism, thus having benefits for any type 2 diabetic or individuals with metabolic syndrome.

  1. Boost energy levels and improves mood

The natural opiate known as endorphins, which the brain produces in response to exercise, will heighten your mood and are a potent, natural painkiller. Studies have recently shown that exercise is as effective in managing depression than many current prescription based medications. It will help you sleep better and thus improve overall quality of life.
