The benefits of strength training go far beyond just strengthening your bones and muscles. Strength training can help:

• increase your metabolism - The more muscle you have, the more calories your body burns, therefore, helping in weight control.
  
• enhance daily activities - As we age, muscle fibers shrink in size and number. As a result, our strength, balance, and coordination diminish. As your overall strength increases, you'll need less effort to perform your everyday tasks.
  
• improve your health - It lowers your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and relieves some arthritis and lower back pain.

Lady Fitness offers a wide variety of strength training classes that will provide you with these great benefits.
