At any stage of life, a strength training adapted to each person is recommended. The reason is that the training of the musculature is considered to be the most important factor for the improvement of the capacity of performance and the quality of life and provides a careful and attractive figure




1. Improvement of muscle strength
To begin, training improves joint muscle play (intermuscular coordination). Progressing with the intensity of training, the muscles also learn to encompass more and more muscle fibers (intramuscular coordination). Visible signs manifest themselves in greater toning and, above all, an increase in muscle mass. The extent of muscle growth depends a lot on the hormones generated by the muscles, for example, testosterone (male genital gland hormone); for this reason, muscle growth is usually clearly higher in men than in women.

 2. Increased caloric wear
The higher the percentage of muscles, the greater the number of "stoves" that burn energy. With every kilogram of muscle mass, calorie consumption is significantly increased 24 hours a day. Therefore, people who train have facilities to control their body weight. To keep in mind: people with a high percentage of muscles also weigh relatively more, since muscle mass weighs much more than body fat.

3. Better perception of the body
Intensive work with the body itself also exercises body perception. During physique training, you have the option to recognize the body's signals and assimilate them correctly. This places special emphasis on the perception of effort and movement control.

4. Muscle improves posture
Flaccid muscles also give the body a warm appearance, and unilaterally developed musculature causes a slightly harmonious posture. Instead, asymmetrically shaped muscular corset leads to an attractive figure. For all body areas: Training with extenders, a variant of the latex tape, can be practiced anytime, anywhere.

5. Injury prevention
Well-developed muscles envelop the body like armor. They protect it against bumps and falls. The back and large joints obtain additional protection when the muscles facilitate harmonic mobility in the joints and compensate for the danger of overload.

6. Stable bones
Osteoporosis, that is, lack of development or degradation of bone mass, is increasingly becoming a disease of civilization not only for women but also for men. Current studies show that physical activity is decisive in the development or maintenance of bone substance. Above all, the first thirty years of life are important: The better the bone mass grows in this phase (maximum value of bone density), the more protection there will be during the following phases of life. But strength training not only helps preventively but also as rehabilitation, reducing bone degradation. Besides, strong muscles protect the joints.


7. Positive effects of diabetes
Through strength training, an improvement in sensitivity to insulin is obtained as with resistance training. This is an essential requirement for the regular use of blood sugar and, therefore, is an important message for the fight against diabetes as a metabolic disease.

8. Alleviates the effects of age
Muscle mass begins to gradually diminish after 30 years of age in the absence of systematic strength training. This degradation does not depend on a priori on aging but results primarily from lack of training. For that reason, there may be more trained people who are fitter and stronger than untrained youth. Then, a correctly dosed strength training is a perfect recipe to counteract the effects of aging to advanced ages.

9. Positive aspects for coronary patients
With the increase in maximum strength, both daily and sports efforts will be easier. This is of special interest to heart patients in the sense that it will take longer to reach their effort limits while being well-trained. This damping can mean an important protective factor against cardiovascular system overloads.

10. Overall performance capacity
If you have ever done a good strength training, you will know the sensation at the end of the session: The whole body feels pleasantly irrigated, relaxed and at the same time fully available. The figure becomes more attractive and walking more erect. If you train with greater continuity, these brief sensations become a lasting effect, you will no longer want to do without these positive results.
