Weights: Why It Is Important?

By Benedict Perez

Weight lifting is also known as strength training. For some weight lifting is a passion and some do it to lose weight, muscle tone and body reshape. One of the reasons a lot of people do not lift weights is because they are intimidated by the word weight lifting.

People do not lift weights due to one reason or other. But believe me it is a very important thing and will keep you healthy for your whole life. It is the best thing that you can do to fight off osteoporosis, lowering of blood pressure, etc.

Weight lifting is an exercise in which you lift heavy weights. It is common in athletic competitions. The definition is totally simple. Then why many people avoid weight lifting? I have two probable answers for it. First is that they do not know what to do and from where to start and the second probable reason is that they have not yet realized the important of weight lifting in life.

There are many different myths developed about weight lifting. One of the most common myths is some people think that weight lifting give you big and bulky body especially muscles which they do not want. But all this is wrong. Bodies become bulky if you spend 4 to 5 hours for lifting weights. It is very difficult to build large muscles. Some people who want big muscles also take different type of medicines.

Basic fact is that when you lift weights, muscles are built. Weight lifting will burn calories and will make you slim and trim. It will help you burn calories even at the time of rest. This is only because of toned body. Let us take an example. There are two individuals that are you and your friend. You go to gym regularly and do weight lifting and your friend do not do any exercise. Now you both are watching T.V. After one hour what do you think who will have burned more calories?

For this answer most of the people think that no calories have been burned as there is no work in watching T.V. But the thinking is totally wrong. You are the one who burn calories at the time of watching T.V. Do not afraid of big and bulky body. Just dedicate 30 minutes per day for 3 to 4 days per week and you will find that you are the fat in your body is replaced by muscles and you will feel good.

You do not have to roam around in bust markets to buy weights. All you have to do is search on internet to check the websites which work in this field. Choose a trusted site and buying on it you will get the product at your door steps.

Make a commitment and do weight lifting two to three days a week. It will tone your body and make you look good and slim trim. It will also help you in old age. - 17274
