Resistance Training

This type of training, also called strength training, is a way of exercising to improve your physical health. It involves lifting weights, but it can also be body weight exercises e.g push ups or squats.

When doing the training you place force on the muscle, thereby increasing the muscle strength, along with the strength of ligaments and tendons, and improving your bone density.

How do you benefit from resistance training?

• Improve muscle strength and tone.
• Weight management – as you gain more muscle, your body can burn fat at rest.
• Increased bone density and strength, reducing the risk of Osteoporosis.
• Better posture.
• Improved balance and flexibility, keeping you independent as you age.

There are different types of resistance training classes available with
IB Health & Fitness. Please check the timetable for further information.
