Top 5 Best Exercises For Your Overall Health Martin Ives August 28, 2014 Fitness 2. Strength Training Strength training is important if you want to keep your muscles in check, because if you stop using your muscles they’ll lose strength over time. Muscle mass also helps burn calories, so the more you have the easier it’ll be to burn off that extra slice of pizza you had. Starting a strength training program or even just starting to lift a couple of simple dumbbells will help you greatly, but remember to start small and gradually increase strength overtime, otherwise you’ll just be hurting your body instead of improving it.
