Weight training, also known as strength training or resistance training, involves exercises that use resistance to build muscle strength, endurance, and size. This type of training can be done using free weights like dumbbells and barbells, weight machines, resistance bands, or even body weight.
Key components of weight training include:
Sets and Reps: Exercises are typically performed in a series of repetitions (reps) and sets. For example, you might perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions of a particular exercise.
Progressive Overload: Gradually increasing the amount of weight or resistance used in exercises to continue challenging the muscles and promote growth and strength gains.
Variety of Exercises: Targeting different muscle groups through a variety of exercises, such as squats, bench presses, deadlifts, and rows, to ensure balanced muscle development.
Rest and Recovery: Allowing adequate rest between sets and workouts to give muscles time to recover and grow stronger.
Form and Technique: Emphasizing proper form and technique to maximize effectiveness and minimize the risk of injury.
Weight training can be tailored to different fitness goals, whether it’s building muscle mass, increasing strength, improving athletic performance, or enhancing overall fitness.
