12 Reason Every Adult Should Strength Train

A high intensity, low-impact exercise method, requiring a very brief workout period, repeaded no more often than once or a maximum of twice per week.

By lifting moderately heavy weights at a very slow speed on specialized exercise machines, each client with reach a point where muscle exhaustion makes it imposible to continue. It is the intensity of the exercise that stimulates the greatest changes. This is the most effective, most efficient and safest way to strength train.

The human body is abasically a muscle structure, supported by bones, joints and organs. If we put the proper demands on the muscle structure, through exercise to keep them active, they can continue to stay strong and agile for many more years.

Traditional weight workouts, particularly those designed for women and the elderly, usually involve sets of multiple repetitions, using light weight ostensibly designed to reduce the risk of injury and increase stamina. Unfortunately, it does not work that way. When we lift a given weight, the small slow-twitch fiber responds first. If the weight is light, they can perform many repetitions without fatique. With more weight these smaller fibers begin to fail, and the intermediate-twitch fibers step up to work, they also can hang in for many repetitions with a lighter weight lifted quickly. Only when the weight is heavy enough to fatique the slow-twitch and intermidate-twich they fast-twich fibers join the workout and until they do, your workout is not improving their size, their strength or their metabolic health.

Working max muscle fibers demands teh application of resistance throught-out a full range of motion, which involves adequate stretching to promote and maintain functional flexibility, and makes greater demand on the transpoert system to promote increased cardiovascular efficiency.

IIf we want to improve our performance in sports, that require quick explosive powerful movements, such as: tennis, soccer, football, baseball, basketball or sking or if we would just like the simple strength-dependedn activities of lifte to be simple again, we need to strengthen the big fast-twitch fibers.
