The Real Benefits and Truths of Strength Training
Season 3, Ep. 3 covers a topic that we were to as the x-factor/cheat code/backbone of how we design program at Unity Fitness: strength training. In this episode, we debunk the myths behind strength training, uncover the well-known and not-so-well-known truths of strength training, as well as protocols to follow to incorporate it into your life!
Intro to Strength Training - 0:51 --> We've referenced strength training in nearly every podcast episode we've done. It's about time we discussed strength training as a whole. Here we go!
What is Strength Training? - 2:52 --> We start with the definition of strength training and take it to a whole other level by covering who is it for and what is it for, including why we don't like strength training being called "resistance training".
The Objections of Strength Training - 10:55 --> A lot of people say "no" to strength training for numerous reasons and objections, most of them based on false advertising and myths. Emily and Jordan are here to set the record straight on ALL of it :).
Myth: Strength Training Will Make Me Look Like a Body Builder - 25:37 --> This myth is almost as old as time. Let's squash it.
The Well-Known and Not-so-Well Known Benefits of Strength Training - 30:30 --> We start the benefits with some words from doctors as well as the more well-known benefits of strength training presented by Mayo Clinic. We believe the future of healthcare is the gym, and it's because of strength training that this could be possible!
Recommendations/Protocols of Strength Training and Other Forms of Exercise - 38:58 --> We wrap up the episode by taking a look at the recommendations/protocols not just of strength training, but other types of exercise in general and easy ways you can incorporate strength training into your life.
