Without a doubt, Strength Training with Weights is the most physically and mentally beneficial form of exercise that one can engage in and it is actually vitally necessary the older we become.

Bear in mind that I put the emphasis on Strength Training with Weights because although highly beneficial in their own right, strength training with resistance bands and resistance cables, and even performing isometric and calisthenic exercises will not yield the degree of strength training benefits as with using weighted resistance.

So quick and to the point, listed below are the TOP 5 BENEFITS of Strength Training with Weights.
