Weights can provide one form of resistance. But in terms of exercising, resistance means anything that makes you work harder.

Pushing against an immovable object, such as a wall (isometric exercise) provides resistance, as does pulling against a thick rubber band (Bowflex and similar exercise machines). Even walking or running uphill can be considered resistance, as you're fighting the pull of gravity against your own body.

What are the forces of a plane flying at a steady height?

The forces acting on a plane flying at a steady height are lift, weight, thrust, and drag. Lift is generated by the wings and opposes the weight of the aircraft. Thrust is produced by the engines and counters drag, which is caused by air resistance. At a steady height, these forces are balanced.


How do planes fly with all their weight?

A combination of the thrust of the engines and the lift of the wings overcoming the drag of air resistance and the pull of gravity.
