Strong Is Sexy: Why Strength Training Looks Good on You

Are you ready to get stronger and live longer? Strength training is just what you need to boost your confidence and age well.

A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that those who strength train one to two times a week and participate in aerobic physical activity have a lower risk of dying early. That’s right! People who include muscle-strengthening exercises in their fitness routine may potentially live longer, healthier lives.
