Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance training increases muscle strength by making your muscles work against a weight or force.

Different forms of resistance training include using free weights, weight machines, resistance bands and your own body weight.

A beginner needs to train two or three times per week to gain the maximum benefit.

Complete the adult pre-exercise screening tool and consult with professionals, such as your doctor, exercise physiologist, physiotherapist or AUSactive registered professional before you start a new fitness program.

Rest each muscle group for at least 48 hours to maximise gains in strength and size.

Varying your workouts can help you push past a training plateau.
