Getting strong has multiple benefits

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!
