EP. 044 – Why strength training is important

Ben Rashleigh

Through out the week you can usually find Ben teaching his Pilates studio clients at Aligned for Life Pilates – Melbourne.

Ben truly believes that every single person deserves a chance at living their best life just like he had the opportunity to do so in 2012, which has led him to help people to participate fully in their own live through the Pilates Method as well as movement education in the corporate space and of course hosting the Let Me Take A Selfie Podcast.

Strength is literally what get you out of the bed in the morning.

Strength doesn’t always need to be defined as moving heavy weights, but consider what force we need to produce to move, stabilise or withstand loads in our everyday living situations. From moving heavy objects, to withstanding impact on the sporting field, to running for the bus or tram and even to reaching up to the top shelf of the pantry to grab the cookie jar you secretly hid from the kids. Strength is an integral part to maintaining and executing daily motion and balance, musculoskeletal health, achieving physical goals and even maintaining range of motion needs like mobility.

From the benefits of performance, to ageing, to its effects metabolicly. We will be discussing the benefits of resistance training and why it is something we all can and should incorporate into our daily lives.
