All types of resistance improve muscle strength and tone as long as you consistently provide adequate stimulus to the muscles you work.

How Often Should I Do Resistance Training?

The good news: Research shows that you shouldn’t lift weights too often. Whereas you can do aerobic exercise daily, resistance exercises exhaust your muscles so much that they need time to recover. So for best results, lift weights every other day, two to three times a week.

Some people do perform resistance exercises every day; this is okay as long as you’re working different muscle groups on consecutive days. If you have the time to train like this, split up the body parts you target on different days rather than do a total body routine each session. You might train your biceps and triceps on Monday, chest and legs on Tuesday, abs and back on Wednesday, and biceps and triceps on Thursday, and so on. Instead of doing just one exercise per muscle group, you might target the body part with several different moves in order to target the widest amount of muscle fibers.
