Strength Training Tips for the New Year

Strength training, also known as resistance training, is a type of physical exercise that involves using resistance to stimulate the muscles to contract and build strength. This can be done through a variety of methods, including lifting weights, using resistance bands, or even just using your own body weight through exercises like push-ups and squats.

While strength training is often associated with bulking up and building muscle mass, it has a wide range of benefits that extend beyond just aesthetics. Regular strength training can improve overall physical function, increase bone density, and reduce the risk of injury. It can also have positive effects on mental health, reducing stress and improving mood.

One of the key benefits of strength training is that it helps to increase muscle mass, which can in turn boost metabolism and help with weight loss. However, it's important to remember that diet plays a crucial role in weight loss as well, so it's important to pair strength training with a healthy, balanced diet.

There are a few key principles to keep in mind when starting a strength training program:

  1. Start slowly and gradually increase intensity: It's important to gradually build up the intensity of your workouts to avoid injury and allow your muscles time to adapt.
  2. Vary your exercises: Mixing up your workouts and targeting different muscle groups will help to prevent plateaus and keep things interesting.
  3. Use proper form: It's important to use proper form to avoid injury and get the most out of your workouts. Consider working with a personal trainer or exercise professional to ensure that you're using the right technique.

  4. Incorporate rest and recovery: It's important to give your muscles time to recover in between workouts. This is when they will repair and grow stronger.

Overall, strength training is a key component of any well-rounded fitness routine. Whether you're looking to build muscle, improve physical function, or just feel stronger and more confident, incorporating strength training into your weekly routine can have a range of benefits. Just be sure to start slowly, use proper form, and listen to your body to ensure that you're training safely and effectively.

I'm 60 years old, 50 pounds overweight and since the pandemic started I've averaged 800 steps a day. I've had spurts of motivation on my own here and there but nothing that I could stick with, and therefore no results. I didn't have strength in my hands and arms, my legs, and I was out of breath walking up or downstairs. I couldn't climb out of a canoe or get off the floor without requiring help. I started with Motivate Fitness on July 14th 2023. MF tailors the workout to my level, where I am right now. It's challenging! It's hard. And it's working. There are some true athletes there that inspire me. And there are also lots of folks who are starting out like me, making real progress at their own pace. I was nervous for my first workout, because I'm so out of shape and older. I have never once felt out of place at the gym. I feel like I'm part of the group, I belong there as much as anyone, and rather than feeling intimidated, I feel fully supported. Tim and Jacob are extremely knowledgeable; they easily recognize where I need to/can do more, or maybe need to pull back. When I walk out of the gym after my work out I am on cloud nine, and I know I've done something that makes me healthier and stronger. I always look forward to the next workout with Tim and Jacob at MF. I am stronger, can walk up the stairs without pulling myself using the railing, hands free!!! I can carry a full laundry basket up or down the stairs like it's nothing. I can sit on the floor and get up on my own. Getting in/out of the canoe is much less embarrassing. I love it at MF and highly recommend meeting Bill and his team and giving it a try.

I owe a bit of gratitude to Bill and his crew at Motivate Fitness. They took the time to listen, assess and prescribe the best path to health I needed. I felt instant relief in knowing I was in the right place and the perfect hands. I was definitely over training and under fuelling my body. With some small changes in my workouts I saw some great changes in strength, flexibility, body comp and overall confidence of well being. I do not know the reason but I feel taller when I finish my workouts with Bill and his crew. Motivate Fitness hits on every one of my fitness needs and goals. I look forward to each and every workout. Cannot wait until the next one. Thank you Bill and Motivate Fitness. You are a life saver.

I started at Motivate Fitness to get stronger, healthier and faster in my golf swing. Bill, Tim and Jacob do an amazing job! What I like the most is how they hold me accountable and Motivate me to work as hard as I can to reach my goals. They set the goals and provide an atmosphere that makes me want to go to the gym and spend time with them as they share the same passion towards my improvement as I do. This really helps me stay focused and I am seeing a major improvement after 3 weeks.
