Flexibility

For those of you who have followed me over the years, you may notice repeat posts. This is because during one of my most recent site change attempts I accidentally deleted the contents of this entire category, leaving me with no choice but to go back and repost the lost ones.

Getting stronger helps in other ways too. The strength to recover from a slip may prevent a bone damaging fall. Postural muscles that are strengthened through weight training inevitably lead to improved posture and a reduced potential of lower back problems. Even though strength training is high on the list of maintaining a strong fit body other pieces of the equation are important too. For instance being flexible enough to tie your shoes or even scratch your back is an important part of living a full and healthy lifestyle.
