By going “all out” in short bursts of intense effort and then taking a brief pause, you typically blast fat and burn more calories than you would doing most lower-intensity, steady-state cardio activities.

It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability.

Pyramid training is different in that it’s progressive: You either increase the load or the reps as you move through your sets. If resistance gets heavier with each set, you simultaneously reduce the number of reps you perform. If you go up in reps, you lift less weight.

This can also reduce the risk of injuries to someone who participates in sports. Timing is key and should be done directly before sessions of sport to improve power and output, improving the ability to perform in sports.

A partner applies force to stretch your muscle passively. While holding the stretch you contract your muscle.

The word "fartlek" comes from Swedish and means "speed play." It's a flexible, unstructured form of interval training where you alternate between running at different intensities, based on how you feel or specific landmarks (like running faster to a tree, then slowing down until you reach a bench). It’s a fun and less rigid way to improve speed, endurance, and stamina. Casey

These machines utilize weights, which can be adjusted to increase difficulty as your strength grows, offering a fixed range of motion that supports the body and eliminates the need for other muscles to stabilize the weight, allowing for focused muscle engagement

free weights are any heavy weight that can be moved freely.

PROS: You can perform a wide range of exercises, keeping your body guessing and challenging it in different ways.

used to perform natural, compound movement patterns that translate to the real world.

express full range of motion through the joints, activating stabilising muscles and reducing injury risk (when used correctly).

CONS: free weights can be a little daunting for beginners.

Some of the more effective exercises (squat, bench press, etc) often require you to have a spotter in order to make progress safely.
