I'm just wondering do the gym weight machines classify as 'lifting weights' as I do prefer using to machines opposed to using hand weights and kettle bells etc.

Thanks for the help in advance :)))

    Sure, same as doing pushups or other bodyweight exercises even. It's all "strength training" or "resistance training" and it all helps you maintain or build strength.

    While the weights on the machine are basically just for reference and don't often correlate to the actual weight of free weights, they definitely count as strength training.
