How Does Resistance and Strength Training Work?
Your resistance training program should include the use of various exercise equipment and
machines like the bench press, dumbbell or barbell. The muscles of your body
will be pitted against the weight and gravity. The cells of the body will then
adapt to the extra weight. This will then result to hypertrophy or the
enlarging and increasing of the nerve cells to help in the muscle
contraction.
Another option is strength training, this can be done without the need for equipment. Doing
push-ups and crunches are examples. You can do it just about anywhere there is
enough space for you to move. This time it is your own body weight that will be
pitted against gravity. Body-weight resistance exercises are a great way to
build up to free weights.
Benefits of strength training:
- Increased Bone
Mineral Density

for Seniors
- Improve Heart
Condition
This kind of training however must be properly done. It requires commitment
and consistency. The key here is to simply take your time. Do things one step
at a time correctly. As your body condition improves, then move on to more
challenging tasks.
