Why Lift Weights?

Weight lifting is an incredibly smart thing to do. It’s not just a
form of narcissism and it’s not just for body builders. Nowadays even
80-year-olds are pumping iron. If you think lifting weight seems too boring,
too dangerous, too troublesome, or too likely to transform you into Hulk
Hogan, your wrong.
People who start lifting weights regularly will tell you how much more fit,
powerful, and energetic they feel . . . but enough about feelings. There’s plenty
of good, solid evidence that strength training does all that and more.
People who don’t exercise lose a lot of their strenght.
