What is Resistance Training? Basically any means of using your muscles to apply force against gravity in some structured manner as in lifting weights. You’re applying “resistance” to the muscle that in turn, provides you with so many benefits as listed above.
Getting everyone (especially women) to pick up the weights is a huge passion of mine, and if they smile while doing it, even better!
