Strength Training

During Weight Training, also called strength training, your peripheral muscles push or pull against some force. This force could be gravity, such as when you lift weights at a health club or when you lift part of your own weight in a push-up.

Over time with repeated activity, muscle fibers get longer and thicker. Subsequently, you are able to work against a greater force (lift heavier weights) for longer periods of time.

Many people neglect weight training because they feel it's only suitable for those who want to have big oversized muscles, or they don't feel it's for them. The quickest ways to lose body fat is by participating in an integrated strength training program. Remember, bigger muscles require more calories. Therefore, the food you eat will go to repairing the muscle tissue rather than storing as fat.

	Core and Balance The core maintains postural alignment and dynamic postural equilibrium during functional activities. Optimum alignment of each body part is a cornerstone to an integrated training and rehabilitation program. A core stabilization program should be included in all integrated training programs. A core stabilization training program enables an individual to gain optimum neuromuscular control of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex and to achieve optimum performance.
