Strength training should be part of your exercise regime if you are looking to improve your overall health and fitness levels, for muscle tone, and for general improvement in your physical appearance.

Many people think that the terms strength training and bodybuilding are interchangeable, but this isn’t the case, as bodybuilding is mostly for competition or show. However, there are some similarities, particularly concerning the approach taken. For example, some people favor using heavy weights and lower reps. Whereas others prefer using lower weights and higher reps. Furthermore, body builders take great care in monitoring their diet, as they need to look a certain way for competition.

When it comes to strength training there are typically three types of exercise equipment one looks to purchase, including benches, dumbbells and home gyms.
