What's on my mind today?

Today we discuss the top 5 reasons for lifting weights.  Let's see if any of the reasons resonates with you.

1.  Lifting Weights Decreases Your Chance of Injury

Weight training strengthens the muscles, bones and tendons in your body.  This helps reduce the effects of arthritis and other degenerative diseases.

2.  Lifting Weights Increases Your Metabolism

By training with weights you gain muscle.  This increases your metabolism.  This in turn aides in burning fat.

3.  Get More Out of Life

You will improve your quality of life by lifting weights.  You will be able to participate in many activities until much later in life.

4.  Fat Loss

Every pound of muscle you build burns an extra 50 to 100 calories a day.

5.  Life Becomes Much Easier

Being strong will help you cope better with every day activities.  When you strengthen your body you also strengthen your mind.  This aides in your future success in all your endeavors.
