Strength training has been one of the most utilized forms of exercise for those in training or for someone who wants to get into shape.

Why is this?

Besides strength training doing great things for your physique, there are many health benefits to it. If you maintain a consistent strength training routine, your stamina will increase and your chances of injury will decrease!

So, how can strength training help you keep your stamina up as you go about your busy day?

As you begin to really focus on training those muscles, they will start to adapt and get stronger. With your muscles getting stronger, you will use less energy than you used to on your daily tasks. You’ll start to notice simple things like walking, going up and down stairs, doing daily chores or whatever your day requires of you will seem easier.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to get through your day and not be exhausted before noon? Not only does strength training help with your stamina, but it is also great for preventing injury.

No matter what job you have, or the things you do on a daily basis, your body is the tool you use to do the work. It’s important that you keep your body in good health, so it can keep up with your daily demands.

When we let our physical upkeep slide, we put our body at risk for injury. We might not always think about this, but we put our bodies through a great amount of stress, and we need to condition our bodies to withstand these stresses. If we don’t, injuries soon follow and then we fall behind on all the things we need to get done.

Strength training can help keep your body in good condition to keep yourself going.

Strength training increases our stability and balance which then will decrease the number of falls we could take. How many times have you had moments of not being fully aware of your surroundings, and then once you do, it’s too late and you struggle to recover and catch yourself? This happens to more people than you think. One great thing you can do to help with this is to work on your core or do balance exercises which will then help you be able to stay on your feet better.

Strength training can also help with joint strength.

As you are building strength in the muscles around your joints, you are creating a more secure environment for your joints to reside, and it will decrease the amount of stress you could be putting on the joints. The muscles will be doing their job more effectively at providing the proper movement and power to those movements.

If you would like to start a workout routine with strength training but are a little intimidated by it, no worries!
