Fit Talk 101: Resistance (Weight) Training
3:29 PM
"O"
Muscle is a very adaptive tissue and with proper training, muscles continuously grow stronger and larger which allows one to perform everyday activities more easily. In contrast, they can also become smaller and weaker if they are not used on a regular basis, therefore resistance training should be apart of every one's program. Weight training in the gym is something that has become very underrated in the world today. Many people make the false assumption that cardio is more than enough to “stay in shape”, and tend to not understand that cardio and resistance weight training go hand in hand regardless of the goal. Though many are not fully aware, resistance training is a pertinent component to a successful workout program. Many have reservations on lifting from fears of getting to big, injury, to being completely oblivious to correct form.
In order to ensure the most efficient weight lifting program is chosen, one must first identify goals.
Toning:
Reps:15-20
Weight: Light
Sets : 1-3
Rest: 30 s- 1 min between sets
Type of exercise- Full Body Workout
Type of Equipment: Machines, body weight exercises
Muscle Growth:
Reps: 6-10
Weight:_Heavy, Continuously increased every set
Sets:3-4
Rest: 30 s to 2 min
Type of exercise: 2 body parts per day, or Full Body
Type of Equipment: Machines, pulleys, Free Weights
Muscle Strength
Reps:1-Failure
Weight: Extra Heavy
Sets-1-3
Rest: 2÷ min
Type of Exercise- Full Body, 1 body part daily,

Once goals are identified the workout should be executed accordingly. Resistance training is not an option, It is a vital component in order to allow your program to be a success. Rather getting help from a fitness professional or researching resistance training on your own, it is something that all are in need of.
