Looking to maintain your weight or lose body fat during the holidays? Resistance training may be your answer. The following are some of the top benefits of resistance training…

• The more muscles you incorporate during your workout, the more calories you will burn throughout the day.
• As you build lean muscle mass, you will look more defined.
• The new lean muscle will help boost your metabolic rate, therefore burning more calories at rest.
•  As you strengthen your core and upper back muscles, you will find yourself with better posture.
• Strength training can increase your bone density, which can help you avoid osteoporosis.
• As you build more lean muscle mass, your body composition will improve.
• You will be able to perform normal daily activities without as much of a struggle as you build strength.
