Everyone benefits from strength and conditioning and not just for competitive sport athletes. The residual effects of being strong, having stamina, and having a healthy heart allows us to enjoy life to the fullest.
When it comes to strength, no one wants to lose strength as they age. It’s the ability to generate force which allows us to perform daily activities and physical activities we enjoy. People want to be able to enjoy their life to the fullest for as long as possible without feeling like they’ve lost it.
Conditioning is the ability to use our strength efficiently, so we can sustain it for longer periods of time without getting tired. If you want your strength to transfer to more than just lifting weights, you need conditioning to bridge the gap between the gym and life.
Condition ensures that we can generate the energy needed to sustain strength production over a period of time and allows us to move as efficiently as possible so we do not use too much energy.
Strength and conditioning is about energy production and energy spending. This is what transfers our strength to skills and performances outside of the gym, so if you want to be effective applying your gym performance to life, you need to work on both strength and conditioning.
