resistance training
Lifting for muscles
Resistance training is exercise that builds strength by working muscles against an opposing force—weights, bands, machines, or body weight.
The term distinguishes strength-focused workouts from cardio or flexibility training: I do resistance training three times a week.
Also called strength training or weight training.
