Strength Training Basics for Beginners
Resistance training supports strength, bone health and metabolism. You can start simply at home.

Strength training isn't just for athletes. It supports everyday strength, bone health and healthy aging.
Starting out - Begin with bodyweight movements like squats and push-ups. - Focus on form before adding load. - Two sessions a week is a solid starting point.
Progress gradually and rest between sessions to allow recovery.
