The idea of free weight training can be intimidating for some gym-goers.
Don't be one of them! There are many benefits of this type of training of which
exercisers should take advantage.
• Working with free weights recruits more muscle groups because
not only are you working the primary muscle, you are also using
other muscles for assistance and stabilization. This recruits more
muscle groups during the exercise.
• Free weights give you the advantage of performing real life
movements that strength machines don't allow.
• Free weights also give you the ability to perform multiple movements
in a single exercise.
• Training with free weights demands a higher level of effort to
maintain balance and stabilization during an exercise, causing your
body to burn more calories during your workout.
• Strength training with weights can increase muscular strength, size
and endurance (depending on how you train) as well as increase
bone density.
• By increasing your muscle mass, strength training will cause your
body to burn more calories at rest, aiding in weight loss.
The next time you're in the gym give free weights a try!
