Body Building at Fitness Universe

There is more to physical exercise than just cardiovascular fitness. Muscle strength is an equally important component to overall personal health and fitness. Anaerobic activities are short in duration, and emphasize building muscle, rather than burning oxygen.

Anaerobic activities include: football, pushups, sit-ups, soccer, softball, sprinting, weight lifting.

There are three primary benefits from strength training.

Maintain and Enhance Lean Muscle Weight - Everybody loses a half pound of muscle for each year that they age past 20, if they do not incorporate some type of strength training into their exercise routine.

Injury Prevention and Increased Capacity - Strengthening your major muscle groups will diminish the stress of impact forces and lessen the risk of exercise-related injury. Strong muscles also help everyone to do daily tasks with ease and efficiency. Daily activities such as climbing stairs, getting out of bed, lifting groceries, cleaning the house, and mowing the lawn all become easier to do.
