In this episode we talk about the muscular system. How and why do we need to train our muscles?

Muscular training improves strength and therefore our ability to perform day to day activities. 

Having dense muscular tissue (not necessarily large muscle mass!!) makes you a "better butter burner" as your body requires more energy to fuel itself and maintain its current state.

Strength training improves bone density and decreases the likely hood of osteoporosis.

Muscular training also improves sleep.

We discuss the appropriate rep ranges to work in and also talk about when weights would be preferable to body weight exercises.

As always thanks so much for listening and we appreciate your time.
