Strength Training with Free Weights 1
When we talk about strength training, most people immediately think of heavy weights and huge muscles. But that's not the only thing strength training has to offer.
Free weight training is used particularly in bodybuilding, weight training and martial arts as well as in rehabilitation after injuries. It is an effective and versatile training method that is suitable for both beginners and advanced athletes.
In contrast to strength training with machines, free weight training has the advantage that it also works the core and stabilization muscles. This makes it a more comprehensive workout because they enable us to hold our body upright and coordinate our movements.
They are also involved in many everyday movements, such as lifting objects or climbing stairs.
In this practical unit for fitness trainer training, course participants learn how to use dumbbells, barbells and pulleys correctly. Various exercises are demonstrated and performed by the participants themselves and particular attention is paid to joint-friendly execution with minimal risk of injury.
