One of the ways we can improve our physical fitness and be better stewards of our health is a form of exercise called Resistance Training. During this episode, Gary will briefly review some terminology related to Resistance Training, the benefits of this type of exercise, and a few practical tips on how to do it.
Before starting any exercise program, especially if you haven’t been active recently, it’s good to discuss work-out plans with a doctor to ensure your body’s able to do it. There are many exercise options available; if you’re planning to take some extra time to devote to your health, use some of that time to consult with a physician.
