First up, let us try to define what the goal of strength training exercises are. As the name implies, the goal of this type of exercise is to build up your strength through physically strenuous activities.  Strength training exercises include weight lifting, using resistance bands, exercise balls and hand weights. If you’ve never performed strength training exercises ever before, here are the reasons why you should start now:

- As your muscles grow stronger, the easier it is for you to deal with daily activities like climbing up a flight of stairs, doing heavy household chores or even something which is as simple as lifting a grocery bag.

- Strength training helps make your muscles more resilient and reduces the risks of falls or age-related accidents.

- Builds muscle strength, reduces blood pressure, lowers the incidence of back pain and minimizes the risks of osteoporosis.

The Top 6 Strength Training Exercises for You

Now that you have an idea about the benefits of doing strength training exercises, what are the types of exercises that you can do? Basically, the definition of a strength training exercise is any exercise which uses resistance to contract your muscles.

Here is a list of the top six strength training exercises that everyone must do be fit, lean and healthy:

1. Squats. Squat is considered to be one of the best strength training exercises because it utilizes almost every individual joint and muscle in the body.

2. Crunch. The basic crunch is a strength training exercise which focuses on the abdominal muscles.

3. Dumbbell press. Similar to a bench press, this exercise using dumbbells help work on the frontal part of your body.

4. Leg curl. Another strength boosting exercise which helps build and shape the hamstrings is the leg curl.

5. Pull ups. This type of strength training exercise works on the back muscles and it is done with the help of a horizontal bar.

6. Shoulder rotation. Another easy to do strength building exercise is the shoulder rotation which involves just that: rotating your shoulders in a circular motion while holding a dumbbell with your arms straight down.

As you can see, these six exercises target the different areas in the body – so performing them should be part of your daily exercise routine if you want to enjoy the health benefits of strength training.
