Searching for a New Year’s resolution or a new habit that will change your life?
Why not try building some muscle and getting stronger?
The science is clear that resistance training has massive benefits for your health and well-being. Putting your muscles to work using weights, elastic bands or even your own body weight can help you live longer, support your metabolism and boost your mental health. And just about everyone can make progress.
But starting a routine and sticking to it can be tough. That's why we created Life Kit's Guide to Building Strength. It's a free, limited-run newsletter series that offers guidance on how to create a workout routine that gets results. You can do this anywhere, with minimal equipment. No experience required!
Over the course of a few weeks, we'll send you the essentials of gaining muscle and strength, based on the latest research and interviews with some of the leading experts in the world.
Here’s a sampling of what you’ll get:
Expert advice for beginners on getting started
Strength exercises to practice at the gym or at home
Assumptions that may hold us back but shouldn’t
When to expect results — and how to make progress
Maybe you’ve got some dusty dumbbells in the closet, a crisp new gym membership, or none of the above. Whatever your starting point, Life Kit is here to help. Resistance training doesn’t have to eat up endless hours or be all that complex.
After this newsletter series ends, you'll receive weekly emails from Life Kit on lifestyle topics such as health, money, relationships and more.
