Strength training

Planned exercise using resistance to improve the ability to produce force.

Also known as: resistance training, weight training

Planned exercise using resistance to improve the ability to produce force.

Why Strength training matters

Strength training supports muscle, bone, physical function and performance when progressed appropriately.

A practical example

Using machines, free weights or bodyweight exercises two or three times per week.

Common mistake

Believing strength work must always involve maximal loads or competitive lifting.

Keep the context in mind.

Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.

Personalised coaching

Apply the principle to your own training.

A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
