Strength Training

What is Strength Training?
Strength training is defined as exercise that requires your muscles to exert a force against some form of resistance, such as free weights.

Aerobic exercise and strength training are equally important for successful weight loss.If you are not doing strength training then you're missing a key component in your weight loss plan.
Strength training increases metabolism by increasing lean muscle mass which helps in long term weight loss. Muscles burn calories and gives you more leaner look. It increases bone density.

Strength training can be accomplished by using dumbbells, weight machines, push ups or squats etc.
