Resistance workout

Introduction

    Resistance training is use to better the strength of the muscles that is in the body. their are two different broader meaning that refers to any training uses a resistance to force muscular contraction and elastic resistance, but their are many ways a well performed athletic or a average people can training their body's using resistance without using any elastic.

METHODS

• Pool

The pool can be use as a form of resistance. while moving the body in the water and during the same routine most would do on land, but the only different is that you are creating more muscular contraction  As a track & field runner resistance training can prove to be very useful; however, you need to have the proper understanding on what you are during. The beach can be use as a good form of resistance workout because running and landing on soft sand increases a person " collision" time and that can be very helpful for most.
 Resistance exercise is also know as strength training the best way you can increase you exercise is to buy a resistance band, but make sure you have another partner or a coach that is whiling to help you because you need to be able to move freely as you ran while the resistance band is holding back. the resistance band can be use for any type of resistance training and it is the best form of product for most athletics.  On the other hand, free weights allow you to determine and control the position of your body when you are lifting weights. Calisthenics are performed without the use of weights, and they include exercises such as push ups, sit ups and chin ups. In these exercises, your body weight acts as the resistance force.

BENEFITS
