I Love Weight Training!

On your journey to living a better life and getting fit, you may try some new diets or exercises programs that may bring you quick results. Fad diets are probably not the best way to lose weight and how many times have you purchase exercise tapes and they just collect dust on your entertainment center? At least the exercise DVDs can give you a good workout if you use them. One thing that I have learned in my fitness quest is that you cannot truly be fit without weight training. Incorporating weight trainging into any diet and exercise routine can assist you in losing more fat faster while building muscle. There are a million articles, websites, and YouTube videos that will advise you in getting started. Make sure you start with light weights and gradually work up to heavier lifting. I try to add at least 10lbs to my current lifting weight each week. This shows you are making progress and getting stronger. At first it may be scary. Take your time and keep lifting weight safe. Get a lifting partner or personal trainer to support and spot you when needed. Go lighter when you're alone and never lift through pain. If you experience pain, stop. Of you experience injury, rest until your injury is COMPLETELY healed.
