Why should you be strength training?

Strength training increases blood flow for a healthier brain and enhances the wiring of your brain (meditation has a similar affect). In essence it has the potential to increase your intellectual prowess.

Strength training requires much more concentration than cardio, which plays an important role in conditioning the strength of your mind. You have to be completely locked-on and present for lifting heavy weights, versus trailing off in thought when you're on the treadmill. I'm not saying that cardio shouldn't have its place in your training regiment, I just wanted to point out the distinction. This simple act of working your “muscles of concentration” can do wonders for conditioning your mind in terms of focus. Are you seeing a theme here?

In terms of measure, research clearly shows that strength training is the ultimate method for building muscular strength, promoting muscle tone, and fat loss.

Even fat loss? Really???

Absolutely! Cardio, yoga, and pilates all take a backseat to strength training when it comes to fat loss. The research is clear about this, despite the old paradigm that still exists.

Strength training gives you a metabolic spike... and if you're curious about why that's important, read Mindful Strength for more information.

What is mindful strength training?

Mindful strength training integrates daily meditation and four other mindfulness practices with progressive strength training. Collectively, these practices are designed to “activate Consciousness” (next section) and harness the power of human consciousness.

One primary difference from traditional strength training is that you vividly focus and connect with the muscles you're training, instead of the actual weights you're lifting. The idea is to be fully and consciously aware of your energy, movement, and presence, which serves as a vehicle to arrive at a higher level of consciousness.

As a result, you will find your workouts becoming progressively more nourishing and enjoyable on more than just a physical plane of existence.
