What have you learned in strength training?

“The biggest life lesson I’ve learned from strength training is that when you take the time to support your body by giving it what it needs, it supports you back tenfold. Lifting isn’t just about aesthetics for me—lifting strengthens all the muscles in my body so that I can live fully throughout the day.

How much strength does it take to lift a person?

The force to lift an average human who weighs 70kg is calculated (in Newtons) by the force equation F=mass x acceleration. At ground level, the acceleration that gravity imposes is 9.8 metres/second squared. So the force acting on a 70kg person at ground level = 9.8 x 70= 686 Newtons (1 Newton = 1 kg/m/s/s).

Why do you like strength training?

Completing a strength training workout increases my self-esteem and I don’t have to compare myself to anyone else while doing it on my own. If you’d like to start strength training, one of the best ways is to take a strength training class. You’ll learn basic body mechanics and improve strength quickly.
