TYPES OF STRENGTH TRAINING

Strength training can be done anywhere, using a variety of equipment, your surroundings, or just your bodyweight. Here are a few ideas:

Body weight: Using your own body weight for resistance is an excellent way to increase muscular strength. Push-ups, pull-ups, tricep dips and core exercises are common exercises that use body weight. You can even find exercise stations at many local parks.

Free weights: Dumbbells, weight bars, and barbells are standard types of free weights. You can do effective workout programs at the gym or at home with any of these.

Weight machines: Many fitness centers have weight machines to train all muscles of the body. Most are easy and safe to use with basic instruction.

Rubber tubing: Resistance tubing provides an inexpensive way for home strength training. Tubing is also convenient to pack for travel and outdoor exercise.
