Strength Training Protocols for Active Individuals
Even the most active, athletic individuals need to maintain core strength and stability. At Midtown Back & Neck Center, our chiropractor Dr. Terence Crowley has decades of experience working with individuals as their personal strength trainer in St. Louis, MO. Dr. Crowley and his team specialize in improving core strength, enhancing power and endurance, stabilizing core muscles, reducing the risk of injury, and enhancing overall health and wellness.
Who Should Consider Strength Training?
You should consider strength training if you are an active adult, if you want to jumpstart your health and fitness journey, as part of your injury rehabilitation program, or if you are preparing for or recovering from surgery. Strength training can reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass, and help you burn calories more efficiently. Your lean muscle mass will start to diminish as you age, so beginning strength training protocols at a younger age will support health aging and preserve and enhance your muscle mass.
