An increased amount of energy is one of the many benefits of strength training. By incorporating full-body strength exercises into your fitness routine, you can help boost your energy level, allowing you to complete your day without hitting a wall of exhaustion. Here are three additional reasons why mamas (both pre and postnatal) should be strength training.

1. Decreases The Risk Of Muscle Loss: A report published in Science Daily showed that muscle loss was greater in people who only did cardio, but those who mixed cardio and strength training burned more fat and were able to prevent muscle loss at the same time.

2. Reduces The Risk Of Injuries: Muscles are not the only thing strengthened with training. Ligaments and tendons are strengthened by strength training as well.

3. Mental Boost: Strength training has been linked to higher levels of happiness and self-confidence in women who train at least twice per week.
