Weight training is a form of physical exercise to develop muscle strength and muscle size. It is a common means of resistance exercise and in turn a type of strength training, which uses the force of gravity (through records and dumbbells) that is opposed to muscle contraction. Done properly, weight training can provide significant functional benefits and improvement in general health and welfare. Weight training is used in various sports, but sports that arise directly from this training are bodybuilding, weightlifting, powerlifting and strongman. Hippocrates first explained that it was weight training when he wrote "that uses this unfolds, and who do not use it is wasting his time." The progressive resistance training minimally dating of ancient Greece, legendary characters as the wrestler Milo of Croton trained carrying a newborn calf on his back every day until it grew. Another Greek physician Galen, described strength training using haleteres, an ancient form of dumbbells. Another year old instrument was the Indian club, which was created in ancient Persia. Later, around the nineteenth century these elements became popular in England and America. The barbell itself joined the bar in the late nineteenth century. The first bar had hollow globes that could be filled with sand or lead, but before the twentieth century were replaced by the current records. [1]. In the sixties began to implement the exercise machine at the gym. Weight training has increased its popularity in the 1980s, due in part to the bodybuilding film Pumping Iron and the subsequent popularity of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Since the nineties the number of women increased weight training, influenced by programs like Body for Life training: currently one in five women (USA) trained with weights. [2]. As in other workouts with strength, weight training in the fundamental principle is based on repetitions and sets to perform and there are also different depending on the area exercises to develop muscle. To work in different areas, training should be divided into routines (eg chest and triceps Wednesday-and Thursday-back and biceps). This division is fine for testing muscular bodybuilders, but in other sports such as powerlifting is training more basics (the three basic exercises are the squat, bench press and deadlift. Lying on a flat bench, supported from the torso head to the hips with your knees bent and feet flat on the insured or bank to avoid arching your back.

The choice of exercises is certainly the weak point of many programs to the extent that it reflects more planning and energy systems. It is certainly very important but the basis of an effective fitness program, what are the exercises. These will vary depending on the sport but here's a list that seems essential for a complete physical condition (non-exhaustive list of course). For cardio: running (jogging), interval training, sprints series. Unless injury or recovery training, cardio machine is not as effective. Now you see if you need to recoup your subscription to the room. - Legs: Hill sprints, squat on one leg (weight), Hindu squats (body weight, long series), split squat (squat slot), split squat plyometrics, dead lift (mind the technical) . - Abs and obliques: woochop (block or big rubber band, different angles), Janda sit ups (abs insulation), Record of legs suspended, exercises with swiss ball. - All the exercises with medicine balls (complete and explosives) - exercises with kettlebells (complete, can revolutionize your program but require some practice before integrating them into a program).
