WHAT IS WEIGHT TRAINING?
Weight training is a form of physical activity that involves contracting muscles against an opposing force to create resistance. This resistance induces muscular stress, which in turn builds strength and endurance. The opposing force can be created with the user’s own bodyweight, for example by performing leg lifts on an outdoor sit up bench, or by using dedicated fitness equipment such as dumbbells. There are various commercial products available to support weight training, including functional training stations for outdoor gyms.
Various forms of weight training have been used to build strength since ancient times, with Chinese warriors using rocks as outdoor weight sets and Egyptian athletes lifting bags of sand. Modern weight training is often associated with the rise of the bodybuilding community in the mid-1900s, and today it is a popular form of exercise for both amateurs and professional athletes.
