About Weight Training
Weight training involves using resistance (dumbbells, barbells, machines, or body weight) to build muscle strength, size, and endurance. It is one of the most effective forms of exercise for body composition improvement, as increased muscle mass raises resting metabolic rate. Weight training also strengthens bones, improves joint stability, enhances insulin sensitivity, and reduces the risk of injury in daily activities. The afterburn effect (EPOC) means calories continue to be burned for hours after a weight training session.
