Why bother getting strong? You aren’t planning to compete in a tug-of-war or anything. Strength, however, plays a powerful role in your everyday life. If you doubt it, take a look at an older person who hasn’t worked actively to maintain strength. You will see someone who:
- has a hard time getting out of a chair
- has a hard time getting into a car
- is apt to fall if he or she trips.
Doing a few bicep curls aren’t going to help you with those daily matters!
I didn’t realize how much strength I’d lost until I started weight-training. Now I see that I’d started using my hands and arms to “push off” when I got up from a chair, for instance. No more! Glad I started training.
Hey, Julie. Congratulations! It feels good to stay strong, doesn’t it? Have you noticed improvements in other activities too?
