The essentials of strength training and conditioning is vital to a balanced fitness program. Much of the population shies away from this kind of program because of many misconceptions. However, the benefits of this kind of exercise are so important to our overall health and well being. These include, bone strengthening (decreasing the risk of osteoporosis), functional strengthening for daily activities, higher metabolic rate with the increase in muscle (this means you burn more calories all the time) and improved self esteem and confidence.

Incorporating muscle work into your current exercise program is easy. Once you have set your fitness goal, you use different parts of your weight training program to help you achieve different goals. For example, if you are trying to improve your jump shot in basketball, you would want to work on getting more height by working on your explosive power.

If you are interested in running a marathon, you would want to make sure that you incorporated endurance into your fitness program.
