Strength training includes resistance training, weight lifting, and bodyweight exercises. Building muscle is an important part of fitness. Strong muscles protect our bones, burn fat faster, and improve balance and coordination. We recommend three to four days of strength training per week.

Active Rest is equally as important as the days spent at the gym. In the summer, our time is best spent outside where we can take advantage of the nice weather and spend time with family and friends. This includes short hikes, swimming at a local watering hole, frisbee golf, a leisurely bike ride, a walk through the park- any activity that gets you outside and moving counts! Try to incorporate at least one day of active rest.
