What is strength training? Resistance exercises help increase the

strength, endurance and power of the muscles by making the muscles work harder. The type of resistance applied to the muscles is generally weight or tension, such as springs in hand grips or rubber in exercise bands.

Exercises that progressively overload the musculoskeletal system by creating resistance for the muscles to work against make your muscles and bones stronger
