Why weight lifting/strength training?
As we age - starting in our third decade - we tend to lose muscle mass. Resistance training is a great way to keep our muscles strong. Reformer Pilates is a form of resistance training, but incorporating weight lifting into your workout routine will help you continue to see results and muscle gain.
