Resistance Training

Strength-building exercises that boost metabolism, preserve muscle during weight loss, and improve long-term body composition.

Resistance training involves exercises that make your muscles work against a force — such as weights, resistance bands, or your own body weight. It builds muscle, boosts your resting metabolism, and helps your body burn more calories even when you are not exercising.

Resistance training stimulates skeletal muscle hypertrophy and increased mitochondrial density through mTOR pathway activation and mechanical tension. It elevates resting metabolic rate by increasing lean body mass and enhances insulin sensitivity via GLUT4 translocation, making it a key adjunct to dietary interventions in medically supervised weight management.

NuLifeCare Singapore incorporates personalised exercise guidance into your weight management plan — Dr. Joseph Wang can advise on how resistance training fits into your programme to preserve muscle mass while losing fat.
