weighted exercises
Lifting for strength
Weighted exercises are physical movements performed while holding or wearing additional resistance—dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, or weighted vests.
The added load increases the challenge to muscles, promoting strength and mass gains beyond what bodyweight alone achieves: She progressed from bodyweight squats to weighted exercises.
Distinguished from cardio or flexibility training.
