The Importance of Starting a Strength Training Program
Strength training is essential for building muscle, improving bone density, and enhancing overall physical health. It helps boost metabolism, improve posture, and prevent injury, making it a key component of any fitness routine. Following a strength program with progressive overload is essential for building strength because it steadily increases the challenge on your muscles, promoting growth, improving coordination, and ensuring consistent progress over time.
