To achieve optimum health, fitness, and performance, you need to be mindful of your meals, your heart and lungs, and your body’s balance, flexibility, and strength. That’s why New Leaf recommends including a strength training program in your fitness plans. Cardio, nutrition, and strength are the three keys to a complete, personalized program that’s based on the results of your New Leaf metabolic assessment.

With strength training, you build muscle mass. Building and maintaining muscle mass requires energy, and energy of course, comes from calories. More muscle in the body means more calories burned, both at rest and while working out. (Fat mostly just stores calories, and that doesn’t require much energy at all.) Building more muscle generally makes a body look and feel more fit and healthy, while burning its fuel efficiently.

Your New Leaf metabolic specialist can help you find good strength training guidance to complement your cardio and nutrition plans.
