The American Heart Association released article titled:
Resistance Exercise Training in Individuals With and Without Cardiovascular Disease:
Here is what the ABSTRACT said:
Resistance training not only can improve or maintain muscle mass and strength,
but also has favorable physiological and
clinical effects on cardiovascular disease and risk factors.
This scientific statement is an update of the previous (2007) American Heart Association scientific statement
Since then accumulating evidence suggests resistance training
is a safe and effective approach for improving cardiovascular
health in adults with and without cardiovascular disease.
This scientific statement summarizes the benefits of resistance training alone
or in combination with aerobic training for improving
traditional and nontraditional cardiovascular disease risk factors.
It also addresses the utility of resistance training for
promoting cardiovascular health in varied healthy and clinical populations.
Because less than one-third of US adults report
participating in the recommended 2 days per week of
resistance training activities it more important than ever
that everyone starts resistance training.
As you can see even the American Heart Association is promoting
strength training for your heart and overall longevity.
Just like we have been doing at MSF for 20 years.
Whether you’re a seasoned gym-goer or just starting out,
