Those who do strength training regularly not only improve their immune system, but also become more stress-resistant and happier. Personal coach Lukas Grigorescu from St. Pölten explains why this is the case and which exercises should be preferred in the latest part of the "Krone" series "Fit through the winter".

When people think of strength training, they automatically associate it mainly with bigger muscles. While this is of course not wrong, spending time with dumbbells and the like has many more positive effects on us and our bodies. "It's far from just our appearance that benefits from strength training," says fitness expert Grigorescu.
