The guidelines for resistance training had been reviewed earlier in 2026 and found:
- A majority of the population (>60%) have not competed any resistance training in the past 30 days
- Even amounts less than the physical activity guidelines is enough to start building strength if you're new to resistance training.
- Low doses shown to produce change include 1 day of strength training a week, 1 set of an exercise nearing failure, and any modality being bodyweight, machines, bands or otherwise can create meaningful change

💪The best resistance training program is the one you’ll actually stick with - The emphasis is on moving from no resistance training to any form of resistance training 🏋️‍♂️

🏆That's not to say the physical activity guidelines aren't important, they are still recommended for the positive effects on your lifespan, participation in life and improving your outcomes with pain, metabolism, etc. Individuals who have the time and resources to participate in exercise volumes that are greater than minimal dose programs should be encouraged to do so 🎯
