This YouTube video (by Dr. Ashley Lucas) explains that improving the body requires overloading muscles primarily via resistance training, which promotes muscle growth, reduces blood glucose in the circulation, and supports other aspects of wellbeing (e.g., bone health). The speaker advises focusing on compound movements — e.g., squats, push-ups, rowing, and deadlifts — and notes that, metabolically, training the whole body each session gives the largest benefit, especially for people new to weightlifting.
