Strength is the ability to produce maximal force via muscular contraction.

Strength training is the most important type of exercise we can perform. Strength training is different than other types of exercise because it doesn’t just get us moving more: it improves our capacity to move.

While other forms of exercise like walking, swimming, biking, and running are great for our cardiovascular and general health, they fail to improve movement quality or build meaningful muscle mass or strength. Strength is its own discipline of training, and it should never be neglected.

Whether you are an ambitious athlete or simply someone looking for a greater quality of life, strength and conditioning holds much of the answers we are all looking for.
