In resistance training, what type of exercises are beginners advised to start with?

  1. High-intensity interval training

  2. Cardiovascular exercises

  3. Balance and coordination exercises

  4. Muscle isolation in a fixed position

The correct answer is: Muscle isolation in a fixed position

Resistance training involves working against resistance to strengthen muscles, which often means using weights or resistance bands. Beginners are advised to start with muscle isolation exercises in a fixed position, such as bicep curls or leg presses, to build a foundation of strength and proper form. High-intensity interval training (A) and cardiovascular exercises (B) can be incorporated later on for a well-rounded workout, but are not typically recommended as starting exercises. Balance and coordination exercises (C) are important for overall fitness, but may not necessarily involve resistance and may not provide the same strength-building benefits for beginners.
