Resistance exercises are physical activities designed to improve strength and endurance by working against a force. This force can come from various sources, such as free weights, resistance bands, or even body weight. These exercises help build muscle mass, enhance bone density, and boost metabolism. Common examples of resistance exercises include squats, push-ups, and deadlifts. They can be performed in various settings, including gyms, homes, or outdoor spaces. Incorporating resistance training into a fitness routine can lead to improved overall health and physical performance.
