In addition to building stronger muscles and connective tissues, a huge benefit of strength training is that, done properly, it increase lean muscle mass. This is important because muscle is much more active metabolically than fat. Increasing your amount of lean muscle mass will increase the calories your body uses 24 hours a day, which means improved body composition. The better your body composition, the healthier you are likely to be.

How do muscles adapt to strength training?

I am not an expert. But: Strength training causes small tears in the muscle fibers. Provided proper nutrition and rest, the damaged muscle tissue is rebuilt stronger in anticipation of more heavy weights. This process continues until the muscles are fully adapted and no longer damaged from the strength training. In order to continue building muscle, heavier weights are then required to causes damage to the muscle fibers once more.
