What is Strength Training?

Strength training is building muscle by means of progressive strength training with weights and using own body mass.

As we age we lose muscle tone, mainly due to lack of exercise.

Rest assured: strength training is not about looking like a bodybuilder.

It is about muscle toning for better and proper functioning of the body.
