There are many well-known benefits of strength training, including stronger bones and muscles, improved heart health, and decreased abdominal fat.

A new study suggests that women who engage in more strength training during midlife and beyond have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than those who do not.

The findings, published on June 17 in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, show that heart health benefits increased when strength training was paired with aerobic exercise.
