Exercising for StrengthVideo Description:Strength training doesn't have to involve super intense weight lifting like a bodybuilder! This vital form of exercise can be as easy as using your own body resistance to burn calories, no fancy equipment or personal trainer required. Transcript:Believe it or not, you can look as good at 40 as you do in your 20s….but you'll have to make some exercise adjustments. Once you turn twenty, you'll lose half a pound of muscle each year - unless you remain active! The best way to avoid this is to engage in half an hour of strength training several days a week. Strength training involves applying progressively heavier resistance to your muscles to strengthen and develop them. You're strength training when you increase the amount of sit-ups you do daily, or add to the weight you can bench press. Strength training is also an important component of effective weight loss routines. Here's why: you burn calories all the time, even while you're just sitting in class or watching TV.  But muscle has a higher metabolic rate than fat, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even while at rest. If you're ready to start strength training, visit your college gym and experiment with different equipmen…like free weights, resistance bands, or physio balls. Most colleges offer at least one free personal training session to get you acquainted with the equipment and exercises.  Stay dedicated and within four to six weeks, you'll see impressive results.  Category:Sports & Fitness/Fitness Basics Tags:strength training, weight lifting, bodybuilding, burn calories, personal trainer, sit ups, strength training workouts, free weights training, free weights, weight loss, fitness, calories, exercise, workout, weight loss exercises, 201000
