Adding free weights to your workouts will ensure you're keeping your muscles in good condition, developing strength and preventing injury. Experts recommend fitness programs that include strength training alongside cardio. Weight training results in increased muscle tone, strength, endurance and bone density.
Weight training becomes especially important as we get older and begin to lose muscle mass. Adding free weights into your training will condition and strengthen the muscle, helping to prevent injury during exercise and improve performance
Apart from conditioning and maintaining your muscles, incorporating free weights into your exercise routines is a great way to build muscle mass. Building muscle, otherwise known as hypertrophy, encourages you to focus on nutrition. You must keep track of absolutely everything including drinks, and eat plenty of protein, carbs and veggies. As a result, your body will reap benefits not only from the outside but on the inside as well.
The more you work your muscles in your workout, the more calories you will burn. Every rep counts. Free weights also allow you to perform compound movements, which use multiple muscles at once. In doing so, you will burn even more calories.
Unlike resistance machines, most free weights will fit in your cupboard or your car. They are also much more affordable.
