Getting Started with Strength Training

Why Strength Training Matters

Strength training isn’t just for athletes. It preserves muscle mass during weight loss, supports metabolic health, improves bone density, and becomes increasingly important after 40.

The Minimum Effective Dose

Research shows that two sessions per week targeting major muscle groups is enough to see meaningful benefits. You don’t need to live in the gym.

Starting Framework

Begin with bodyweight movements: squats, push-ups (modified if needed), rows, and hinges. Master form before adding weight. Progress gradually.
