Did you know that strength training is the key ingredient for your fitness and overall health?
Yes, it's true! This is powerful training that utilizes muscular force against resistance, therefore, building a stronger and healthier body. You can strength train with actual weights or you can even do it with only your body weight.

Trainers and coaches everywhere are teaching their clients how to add this powerful program into their lives. Here is what Sue Clark, a Chicago-based strength coach had to say about strength training.
Brighten up any day when you start it off with strength training.
