"Reduce Heart Disease Risk: 30 Minutes of Weekly Strength Training"

A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that strength training can lead to longer, healthier lives, and a supervised exercise trial found that combining cardio with strength training may be as effective in preventing cardiovascular disease as cardio alone. However, only 24.2% of adults meet the recommended physical activity guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. Strength training is not just for bodybuilders and can be started with bodyweight exercises and everyday movements. It's important to focus on balanced, full-body strength training and incorporate prehab exercises and mobility work to prevent injury and ensure functional strength.
