Did you know that Weight Training is considered a cardiovascular exercise and therefore has all the same benefits as traditional cardiovascular exercise such as improved sleep, glucose metabolism, cardiovascular efficiency, mood, energy, and even memory? Weight training also has additional benefits compared to traditional cardiovascular exercise.
