the Danish Health Authority has said in its recent health guidelines on physical activity. The previous guidelines, released in 2010, were almost exclusively focused on circuit training. But now authorities have said strength training is essential as it helps to strengthen muscles, develop stronger bones and helps one to better cope with daily physical challenges. Key takeaways from the guidelines are:
- Exercise and strengthen large muscle groups such as your legs, stomach, back and arms.
- Children and young adults should train at least 3x weekly.
- Adults between 18 and 64 years old should train at least 2x weekly.
- Adults above 65 years old should also perform some form of strength training.
