Resistance Training Exercises
There are many different ways to approach resistance training--weight machines, exercise bands, homemade weights, water exercises, and partner exercises, for example. The following photos illustrate a sampling of exercises for the major muscle groups of the body. Before performing any of the following exercises, be sure to warm up and stretch your muscles. With any exercise using weights, use caution, use a spotter and never train alone.
