What is resistance training?
Phil Goulding, a senior personal trainer at Nuffield Health, explained what resistance training is.
“The term refers to any form of exercise where you lift or pull against resistance,” he said.
“This could be using dumbbells, a barbell, bodyweight, machines, kettlebells, powerbands or any other external resistance.”
Not only can resistance training lower body fat, it can decrease the risk of heart disease, decrease blood pressure, and improve cholesterol.
