Strength Training

December 19, 2007

Every movement we make—from walking to driving—involves our muscles. Muscles are unique. They have the ability to relax, contract, and produce force. They are metabolically active, meaning that the more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism (amount of calories your body needs) at rest and during exercise. With appropriate exercise—strength training—muscles are highly responsive, becoming larger and stronger.

Strength training is an essential part of a complete fitness program. Regular strength training increases the size and strength of the muscle fibers. It also strengthens the tendons, ligaments, and bones. All of these changes have a positive impact on your physical fitness, appearance, and metabolism, while reducing the risk of injury and decreasing joint and muscle pain.

Muscle is metabolically-active tissue. This means that the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism is while at rest. So, strength training is an important component of a weight loss program. Muscle also weighs more than fat. This is one of the main reasons your weight alone will not tell you everything. You can lose fat, gain muscle and tone, and have no overall change in weight, or even an increase in weight.

Without consistent strength training, muscle size and strength decline with age. An inactive person loses ½ pound of muscle per year after age 20. After age 60, this rate of loss doubles. But, muscle loss is not inevitable. With regular strength training, muscle mass can be preserved throughout the lifespan, and the muscle lost can be rebuilt.

Fighting For Fitness

Besides helping us San Diegans with state help for fighting these horrific fires, California governor Arnold Schwarzengger has been very proactive in North America’s fight against fat. Legislatures in at least 25 states are debating more than 140 bills to curb obesity.

The governor recently added $8.5 million to this year’s California budget to integrate fresh produce, whole grains and other healthy choices into school meals. The Governator’s overall goal is obesity prevention in both children and adults.

The best part of this is that newly considered state laws would prohibit sodas and candy from being sold in public schools, require fast food menu boards to include fat and sugar content as well as an attempt to raise taxes on certain unhealthy food items. (source: Washington Post)
