Here is our client who transfromed body with weight training. This was not done with cardio only, or with endless hours of spinning.
Do we really need muscles? Are we supposed to be strong and train to rebuild muscles? Why do we get involved in strength training?
The causes of 80% of work related injuries are to be found within the musculoskeletal system:
• Muscular atrophy: muscle that is not used vigorously on a regular base is gradually broken down and lost
• Loss of muscle tissue is causing us to become weak and strength of stabilizing muscles is lost: leading to overloading of the joints, thus the extra pressure is applied upon joints
• Cartilage growing thinner: leading to more frequent joint injury, and we do not want to have weak muscles that will cause chronic pains in joints
• Overuse of remaining muscle fibers: leading to chronic pain
As you can see the weight training is not just good for esthetic look of the body but also for the overall health. Most people do not understand that their muscles without strength training are lost by default and only through training we can rebuild them and make sure that we will be healthy and avoid chronic pain that is associated with weak muscles around joint that stabilize us through daily movement.
