Strength-Training Exercises
Strength-training not only builds your physique, it can also help boost mood, thinking and overall cardiovascular health. But before starting a strength-training regimen, as with any other exercise program, it may be best to have a medical exam to rule out any possible underlying health problem or any existing conditions that could be aggravated.
A simple strength-training program can take as little time as 15 minutes, twice a week. The payoff is impressive: By lifting weights, you'll help prevent age-related decline in muscle mass (which tends to start at around age 35), prevent osteoporosis (thinning of the bones), increase your rate of fat loss and enhance your mobility, making it easier to participate in aerobic exercise and other sports.
A note about the weight of your weights: If you're working out in a gym, ask a certified personal trainer for advice on how much you should lift. In general, your weights should be heavy enough so that you have some difficulty completing the final one or two repetitions in your set.
