Did you know the average person over the age of 25 loses nearly half a pound of muscle every year? Well, let's get some of that muscle back! While loss of muscle is an unavoidable part of the aging process, the rate at which this loss occurs depends on our activity level. Let Stephen Blackwell help you build a personal training program that will slow the loss of muscle, restore lost muscle, and look and feel a whole lot better.

Benefits of Strength Training

• Enhances Body Composition. Strength training increases your lean body mass and decreases your body fat percentage.
• Increases Metabolism. An increase in your lean body mass results in an increase in metabolic activity. For every pound of muscle gained, you burn approximately 50 more calories a day.
• Enhances Fat Burning Mechanism. With an increase in lean body mass, additional fat is burned during exercise.
• Improves Muscle Tone. Muscle definition increases with proper training, which helps you look and feel younger.
• Prevents Injuries. Increase in lean body mass can reduce the stress placed on joints such as knees, hips, and back.
• Enhances Sports Performance. Stronger muscles and improved coordination lead to better performance in sports and recreational activities.
• Improves Posture. Increasing the strength of the back muscles can help prevent and even correct any back problems you may suffer from.
• Enhances Bone Density. Strength training helps to minimize the decline in bone density (osteoporosis) that comes with age. Without strength training, women after the age of 30 women experience bone loss of about .7%-1% per year.
• Postpones the Aging Process. Research has shown that individuals at any age can increase muscle strength through a regular routine of strength training exercises.
