AQUATICSpring strengthening As it starts to get nice outdoors, many of us enjoy getting outside; however, it’s still important to make sure you continue with your strength-training program so you don’t lose all your work of the past six to nine months. Strength training has many benefits, such as:
1. Helping keep the weight off, as lean muscle burns more calories
2. Protecting bone health and muscle mass3. Reducing your risk of falling by 40% due to
better posture, balance, and coordination4. Enhancing your quality of life5. Decreasing arthritis pain6. Boosting energy levels
7. Improving your mood
If you have questions about getting started on the right routine, or you’re looking to change up your current
routine, talk to one of our exercise specialists today. Stop by the Club desk or call 701-355-1280 to set up an appointment.
