Strength Training

Strength training is any type of resistance training performed on the muscles of the body. The resistance creates a force that puts an overload on the muscles. When this overload is placed on the muscles, it causes them to break down. The muscles of the body then heal or recover, and a new recruitment of muscle fibers takes their place. This process makes your muscles stronger and gives your body a leaner appearance. Forms of strength training include; body weight, free weights, machines, cables, bands etc.
