The following are just some of the benefits to a regular strength training program. These are my top reasons for doing regular strength training.

1. Greater strength
   - Your muscles become stronger, your body becomes stronger, your will becomes stronger.

2. Greater energy
   - How you can have more energy even after you expend so much in training sounds like a mystery, but its TRUE.

3. Better cardiovascular health
   - Endurance/aerobic trainging can help keep your heart and circulatory/pulmonary systems healthier.

4. Better flexibility
   - Movement from regular strength training helps maintain flexibility.

5. Better blood
   - Exercise makes blood platelets less sticky, thus less likely to form dangerous clots.

6. Bodyfat control
   - Muscle tissue burns additional calories beyond those burned by exercise. Regular exercise helps control appetite and other internal mechanisms that affect metabolism and hunger sensations.

7. Stronger bones
   - Resistance training increases bone density. Combined with good nutrition and supplements, the right resistance training program can help prevent osteoporosis.

8. Stress management
   - A tough session focusing on moving lots of weight can ease the day's tensions and release calming endorphins. A good tension reducer.

9. Delayed aging
   - Regular strenuous exercise and sound nutrition combine to hold back the aging process. No matter what your age or health status, a bodybuilding lifestyle can help you.

10. Pain prevention/relief
    - Regular exercise makes you less sensitive to pain. It might be just what you need for those annoying aches.

11. Reversal of disease processes
    - The bodybuilding lifestyle can actually help you reverse cardiovascular disease and can help lower high blood pressure. Exercise can aid in control of diabetes and high cholesterol.

12. Enhanced immunity
    - Regular exercise, adequate recuperation and sound nutrition, help your body's immune system function better to fight off all kinds of disease.

13. Independence
    - The strength that comes from a bodybuilding lifestyle frees you from having to seek the help of others in many circumstances.

14. A better sex life
    - Training regularly can give you more energy, less anxiety, more self-esteem, a more attractive body and increased testosterone levels. All of which may contribute to more fulfilling sexual encounters.
