We re going to put your muscles through a program inspired by our celebrities that focuses on strengthening areas which reduce stress on your joints. Women who carry more weight on their bodies put more stress on their joints and that could lead to injury. But if you strengthen the muscles around the joints, you can protect yourself from injury. We re going to show you how to work out skeletal muscles from your head to your toes. There are about 700 muscles in the human body.
Women can improve their muscle strength through weight training.
Strength training involves performing a body motion while you add resistance to that motion. Muscles get stronger or weaker in response to demands placed on them. Muscles lose strength when they re not used and gain strength according to the load placed on them. As the muscle gets stronger, it has to be challenged harder in order to keep developing. In addition, bones grow denser from stress placed on them.
