Strength training is another way for
you to meet the recommended minimum of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity
physical activity each day. Strength training will help you burn extra
calories, build strong muscles, bones, and joints, and improve your physical
functioning. |
|
Experts recommend strength training 2
to 3 days each week, with 1 full day of rest between workouts to allow your
muscles to recover. If you are new to strength training or physical activity
in general, consider hiring a certified personal trainer who can plan an
individualized program to help you work out safely and effectively. A
personal trainer who has a degree in exercise physiology or is certified
through a national certification program, such as the American College of
Sports Medicine or National Strength and Conditioning Association, may be
able to help you reach your physical activity goals. |
