My little ones are growing up quickly. They are getting heavier and tougher to carry. There are days where they get too exhausted to walk, therefore, I need to carry them. I feel I need to get stronger. I do love cardio but strength training and toning the muscle is important as well. Challenge 8 strength training.

Strength Training
Muscle training exercise:
- climbing stairs
- cycling
- push-ups, sit-ups, and squats
- dancing
- yoga
Build Muscle
The above helps to build muscle. Muscle helps the body to move and build stronger bones. It helps to develop muscle. Also, this prevents injuries. If there is no exercise, not enough healthy nutrients, the body will lose bone mass. The bone will become weaker and tends to break easily. If bones are weak even with simple movements, it would be too much for the bones. Do consider challenge 8 strength training or do exercise.
The Benefit of Strength Training
Strength training is good for balance, performance, well-being, and strength training.
Help With Strength Training
- Squats: Point toes outwards. Feet and shoulder apart 15 outwards. Tense the abs. Look in front. Be in a sit back position. The butt moves backward.
- Lunges: Work on hip, glutes, hamstrings, and core. Focus on body muscle. Stand straight. Take one step forward. Move the weight forward. The heel should come in contact with the floor first.
- One-legged Deadlifts: Stand straight. Hold dumbbells and lower in front. Lean forward. Move one leg behind you.
- Pushups: Have hand and shoulder apart. Bend elbows. Move to the ground. Then up.
- Planks: Planks are similar to push-ups. Hands under the shoulder- width apart. Hold for 20 seconds.
When exercising, the focus should be to build muscle. Therefore, slowly push yourself to increase the amount weekly. Do push your body to do more. Your body can handle more. This will help to build better strength and more muscle. Do try challenge 8 strength training.
If you like to multi-task, why not consider dance exercise.
My next challenge I would like to focus on more yoga exercise.
