If You Want To Be Truly Healthy You Need A Strong Toned Muscular System

It is a shame that there are so many misconceptions about strength training and the fantastic health benefits it can have on your body. Many of the basic fundamentals of strength training exercise have been drowned in the mass of media and internet information and misinformation. It seems everyone is looking for a quick fix, and most people tend to ignore the good science and knowledge that already exists. Strength training exercise may well in fact be the fountain of youth so many people are on the lookout for.Strength training is so effective it can help you lose more weight, become leaner and trimmer, develop a stronger cardiovascular (heart/lung) system, have better endurance, coordination and balance along with a lower risk of major chronic 'lifestyle' diseases especially the 'big three' heart disease, cancer and diabetes. By keeping your muscular system strong throughout the adult years you will enjoy better general health along with greater energy and vitality.There is also so much misinformation about 'cardio' type activity being the key to burning body fat and losing weight. But we know now that recreational activities such as jogging, cycling and walking are not enough for consistent fat loss.Many people still focus on 'losing weight' but it is important to remember that all pounds are not created equal. The focus should not be to lose 'weight' but to lose 'fat'. Your muscular system when toned up and healthy has weight to it. To simply lose weight you could cut a pound of muscle off your body and you would be a pound lighter but you would not be any less fat. Muscle tissue makes up to 50 percent of your body weight and is highly active tissue burning a large portion of your food intake as fuel so it makes sense to do everything possible to hang on to it. Every single muscle cell in your body is a little fat burner and when it is strong and toned it will burn more calories.So for better health or weight loss a proper program of strength training is the ticket as it is the only way to change your body composition (muscle/fat ratio). Your body composition is a much better measure of metabolic health and fitness that simply the weight of your body on the bathroom scales as it is a measure of how much body fat your body is made up of in relation to how much muscle tissue you have.Obviously to improve health or lose weight you want to have less fat and more muscle tissue. Studies are now uncovering how body composition is more directly correlated to the occurrence of disease and poor health than body weight. The key to great health and wellbeing as well as protection from disease is so much more than battling the bathroom scale; you need good quality well toned muscle tissue. A well planned and properly executed strength training program can be a virtual fountain of youth. There are not any short cuts or tricks just plain old fashioned hard physical work, just as we have been designed to do and need to stay healthy. You can feel so much better, look better, and have better control of your body and its health by just 2-3 sessions each week. It is never ever too late to get started, but the sooner you do the sooner you can reap and enjoy the multitude of benefits.
