Most women tend to focus way too much on cardiovascular exercise, according to personal trainer Davina Tyquin from Step Into Life. But if you’re serious about shaping up, you really should incorporate resistance training, or weight-bearing exercises, into your regime.
Weight-bearing exercises make your body work against gravity. That includes squats, lunges and push ups, as well as activities like netball, stair-climbing and tennis.
Resistance training is any form of weight-lifting, including dumbbells, barbells and other weight machines you see at the gym.
