Once you start exercising regularly, you’re bound to put on some muscle. Aside from making you stronger, these new muscles also help your body perform and function better in surprising ways.
Here are some benefits of muscles you might not have considered.
1. Injury prevention. Muscles help protect your joints, which is especially important as you age. Weight training strengthens the tendons along with the muscles, and it also increases the flexibility of the ligaments, which decreases your risk of strains or tears.
2. Improved stamina. At our gym we frequently do many repetitions of a movement with lighter weight, which builds your muscular endurance. This type of strength translates to activities outside the gym, like skiing, biking, running, swimming, and hiking.
3. Weight management. The more muscle mass you acquire, the more calories you naturally burn, even at rest which may promote or maintain weight loss or body recomposition if this is one of your goals.💪
