Resistance training goal
Muscle strengthening refers to exercises or activities designed to increase the force muscles can exert, typically through resistance training, weight lifting, or bodyweight exercises.
The goal is to build muscle mass, improve tone, and enhance overall physical capacity.
Health guidelines often recommend muscle strengthening activities at least twice weekly alongside aerobic exercise.
