Rival FIT Tip: Why we believe in strength training

Posted May 18, 2016

Rival Fitness

At Rival we promote a baseline of safe, effective, fundamental strength training. Strength is a form of function and is key to everything we do in life.

When you build lean muscle you also build your metabolism so you burn body fat all day long, not just when you’re working out. This is an important fundamental to change and maintain your body and your fitness.

Over the next four weeks we’re going to be communicating more specifics on the how’s and why’s of strength training and we hope that you will find this information beneficial to your personal fitness goals. Watch for them on Facebook, in the gym, in our newsletter, and on the Rival website. If you have any specific questions about strength training, please share them here and we will be sure to address them.
