foundations of fitness series

Have you ever heard how beneficial strength training can be? Just some of the benefits science has identified are:

• Reducing the loss of muscle mass associated with aging.

• Improving bone health to keep them strong throughout your life.

• Promoting a healthy body composition by increasing the metabolic rate.

• Enhanced balance through increased joint stability and motor control.

However, there can be challenges to getting started with strength training. The exercises may seem intimidating and doing new things under load could present an injury risk.

That’s why MATRIX has created this Foundation of Fitness Video Series.

In this 4-part video series you’ll learn the basics that anyone doing strength training should know. You’ll identify what muscles you are using in different movements, so you can apply that to any exercise. You’ll discover how to isolate your muscles with simple exercises that can be done anywhere, without any equipment. And most importantly, knowing the basics will help keep you safe during any type of strength training that you choose to do.
