What component of fitness does weight training improve upon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strength: Weight training works primarily on strength but it also can increase your metabolism and help you burn calories more efficiently. Done in a circuit fashion it can also increase your cardiovascular fitness but would have to be done vigorously enough to elevate your heart rate.
