Strength training consists of exercises that increase muscular strength. However, contrary to popular belief, strength or resistance training is not only for athletes or for people who are trying to bulk up. Dr Arvin Raj, a sports medicine physician and a certified strength and conditioning specialist, joins us to explain why strength training has health benefits for everyone, regardless of age or athletic abilities, and why there’s no better time to start than the new year.
