Weight training is a common type of strength training for developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. It uses the force of gravity (in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks) to oppose the force generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction. Weight training uses a variety of specialized equipment to target specific muscle groups and types of movement.

Strength training is an inclusive term that describes all exercises devoted toward increasing physical strength.

Weight training is a type of strength training that uses weights rather than elastic or muscular resistance to increase strength. Endurance training is associated with aerobic exercise while flexibility training is associated with stretching exercise like yoga or Pilates. Weight training is often used synonymously of strength training but is actually a specific type within the more inclusive category.

We take you through several routines in Weight Training. Our specialty is the Circuit weight training routine.
Circuit training is a popular form of fitness session used by the army, sports teams, squads of athletes/swimmers as well in health clubs and fitness centers. It is generally assumed that a course of circuit training will improve both aerobic fitness and strength, thus making it a very useful conditioning method.

Basically circuit training is a compromise between aerobic and strength training, because the activity is continuous and moderate loads are used. Endurance athletes and games players may choose to use circuit weight training routines to build and maintain moderate strength while at the same time benefitting from its interval-type content which develops anaerobic endurance.

Circuit training, not only gets you in shape and tones up muscles, but also a decrease in relative fat mass leads to a decrease in total weight with little change in lean body mass. The resistance work involved in the circuits encourages muscle-mass development, and thus any fat loss is replaced equally by muscle gain. The increase in lean body mass pushes up basal metabolic rate and overall calorie expenditure.

Gradual Warm-up
It is important to warm up before beginning to weight lift.. The consequences for not doing so may include sore muscles or a sore back. By warming up, you can avoid pain and enjoy a workout.

      •    Remember to inhale and exhale
      •    Drink plenty of water during stretches (approximately half a cup while stretching or 1/4 of a bottle).
