health is resistance training, also known as weight lifting. Why is weight lifting
such a great exercise?

burns a lot of calories both during exercise and increases metabolism for
12-24 hours afterwards (this is known as the “after burn”.)
 Lifting weights increases lean muscle mass, increasing your metabolism
and burning more fat every day for the rest of your life.
 Lifting weights with proper range of motion and proper stretching
.afterwards stretches and strengthens not only muscles but also bones
and connective tissues (ligaments and tendons.)
