  • Increasing overall strength. Weight training improves a person’s ability to perform physical tasks as well as normal.It also increases the strength of connective tissue, muscles and tendons, decreasing risk for injury.

  • Managing weight. Simply having more muscle helps the body burn up extra calories — even when just sitting still. also managing your weight will help with everyday activities

  • Building up bone density. One of the best ways to control bone loss (which is inevitable with age) is to add weight-bearing exercise to a workout. Increased bone density reduces the risk of fractures, especially in older adults. And protecting the body against osteoporosis may also lead to improvement in  balance, resulting in fewer falls.

  • Helping the heart. “Cardio” exercise isn’t the only physical activity with cardiovascular benefits. A resistance training routine has been shown to lower blood pressure, in some cases as effectively as taking medication.

  • Sleeping better. People who regularly exercise sleep better, and those who work out using weights are no exception. sleeping better and more hours will increase your bodily function and also helps the reduce of injury.
