力量训练能帮助您强健肌肉，使其更紧实，并能改善您的外表。定期进行力量训练项目可以帮助您减少身体脂肪、增加骨骼强度、增加精瘦肌肉量，并能更有效地消耗热量。
而且，力量训练需要花费的时间没有您想象的那么长。每周至少对所有主要肌肉群做两次力量训练。目标是每一项运动做一组，使用的重量或阻力水平应该以重复 12 至 15 次动作后感到肌肉疲劳为宜。
力量训练可以在家中或在健身房进行。哑铃和负重器械是比较受欢迎的力量训练工具，但这些不是唯一的选择。
您还可以使用经济实惠的阻力带，或者利用自身体重进行力量训练。但是，正确的方法对于预防损伤和获得最大的益处非常重要。有了适当的训练方法，在经过一段时间的练习后，您会逐渐享受到自身力量和耐力的显著改善。
