Muscular Strength Activities

• Do these activities a minimum of 2 days per week
• Do strengthening activities on nonconsecutive
  days
• Use resistance or weight to maximize strength
  development

37
The Benefits of Muscular Strength

• Reduces the risk of injury
• Improves posture
• Improves physical performance
• Improves body composition
• Slows bone loss as we age
• Increases bone formation in young adults
• Inverse relation between risk of all-cause
