    Strength is how strong you are.

    Endurance is how long you can last.

    Strength is how strong you are - can you lift 50 lbs or 100 lbs easy? Stronger can lift the 100 lbs. Endurance is how long you can keep up the activity. Can you lift 50 lbs over your head 10 times or twenty times. The longer you can do something before tiring out, you have more endurance. Like running - someone who can run a mile in 6 minutes is stronger than someone who can run it in 8 minutes. But to be able to keep up that pace for an hour has more endurance.

    Lets say you can bench press like 500, that would be strength.

    Now if you could do that amount for 20 reps you would have endurance as well.

    Basically strength refers to application of power and endurance to the amount of time an excercise can be performed for.

    strength is a powerlifter or even sprinter. Endurance is the long distance runner or swimmer. Which is best depends on what your goals are.

    An example of each...

    Strength: Bodylifting

    Endurance: Long distance Running.

    each works different muscles, and in turn will give you different results.

    strength = how strong you are, ie lift 100 lbs

    endurance = how many times you can lift it

    or another way of thinking of it, you maybe able to run for 60 min, but may not be able to lift something heavy.
