Whether you're looking to lift your spirits or lift heavier weights, you'll come away with a renewed perspective on the role resistance training plays in a robust, healthy life.
We often hear about the aesthetic benefits of resistance training, but it's time to shift the spotlight to its lesser-known advantages. From harmonizing hormones to boosting the immune system, I'll guide you through the transformative effects resistance training can have on your body and mind.
