New Strength Training Research (ACSM 2026) the 1st published evidence based in 17 years.
The American College of Sports Medicine has released new strength training research based on 30,000+ people and it reinforces......
You don’t need complicated workouts to get stronger.
Here’s what this means for you:
Strength/Resistance training 2–3 times per week
Consistency beats doing loads one week and nothing the next.
You don’t need to lift heavy all the time. Strength can improve with moderate weights and good effort.
Short sessions still work 20–30 minutes of focused strength training can be enough.
Moving weights fast can help build power. This improves everyday strength, balance and resilience.
What could this look like in your sessions?
Include simple power-based movements like:
• Fast sit-to-stands
• Kettlebell swings
• Push press with dumbbells
• Step-ups performed with intent
Benefits for you:
• Improved strength for everyday life
• Better balance and coordination
• Reduced injury risk
• Increased confidence with movement
• More efficient workouts
The main takeaway:
You don’t need perfect training. You just need consistent, structured strength work and that’s exactly what we always focus on.
