Why it’s important? - Raises your metabolism. Muscle burns more calories than fat.
- Keeps your bones and connective tissue strong which in turn helps you avoid injuries.
- Increases muscular endurance.
- Helps you look good (of course!)
How do I get it? - Work slowly with concentration on form and resistance to gravity. Avoid injury.
- Stagger exercises. Concentrate on activities that work specific muscle groups.
- Anaerobic activity produces lactic acid build-up in muscle tissue, which can be temporarily painful. Stretching before and after workouts can prevent this condition.
- Like aerobic workouts, gradual progression of stress on muscles will increase muscular strength. Moderation is key to avoiding injury and realizing benefits
- A warm-up is crucial to any workout.
- Rest. One or two days recovery time is necessary for maximum effect and injury prevention
