Our Three Cents

Let’s Get Pumped

HANNAH: Resistance training has benefits beyond looking good: it helps make your bones stronger, your ligaments tougher, your joints healthier, and your mood better. You’re never too old to start incorporating strength training into your fitness routine. As a runner who used to just run 8 miles and be done, I feel so much livelier since I’ve expanded my workout goals to include strength training.

Resistance training isn’t just lifting weights: it’s targeted training for all of your muscles, and there’s tons of different equipment to help you do it. And whereas most running gear is optional (other than shoes), I find that good strength training equipment is critical to avoid injury and maintain the proper techniques. So let’s find out what worked out in our workouts.
