Strength training is any type of resistance training performed on the muscles of the body. The resistance creates a force that puts an overload on the muscles. When this overload is placed on the muscles, it causes them to break down. The muscles of the body then heal or recover, and a new recruitment of muscle fibers takes their place. This process makes your muscles stronger and gives your body a leaner appearance. Forms of strength training include; body weight, free weights, machines, cables, bands etc.

Cardiovascular Endurance is the efficiency with which you are able to get oxygen to the working muscles while removing metabolic wastes while training. Simply stated, cardiovascular endurance is how well you can keep your "oxygen debt" (how much oxygen you owe to your heart and muscles) down during a cardio workout. Cardio training activities (such as running, cycling, aerobics etc.) are ways to improve your cardiovascular endurance.

What is meant by your “core” is the central muscles in the trunk of your body. These muscles work together to protect organs, produce movement, and keep you upright. They have something to do with nearly every movement you make, so their importance is obvious. One of the best side effects of having a strong core is good posture. When your muscles act together in harmony your body is carried in a way that reduces pain and strain. Many people suffer from back pain (particularly in the lower back) that can be minimized with core training and subsequent improvement in posture.

Core training includes a wide variety of exercises. Anything that causes you to engage your stomach muscles, back muscles and gluteus muscles is likely good for your core. Moves that require stabilization of all three of these groups are excellent in the world of core training.
