Weight lifting is also named as strength training. Some people do weight lifting just for passion but some do it to loose weight and to tone their body. The best part of weight lifting is that you can loose weight much faster than any other exercise. It is the best exercise to loose weight, muscle tone and body shape. One of the reasons a lot of people do not lift weights is because they are intimidated by the word weight lifting.
People give invalid reasons for not lifting weights. They do not want to do so much put in. But it is very important if you want to remain slim and trim and fit for your whole life. It also helps you in old age as weight lifting saves you from many different diseases like osteoporosis, lowering of blood pressure, etc.
In the first paragraph I gave you simple definition for weight lifting. But if weight lifting is so simple then why people do not make it their habit? I have two most common 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.
If you do weight lifting at least three days a week for thirty minutes then you will never face any problem in your old age. But there are many myths to which people skip weight lifting. The most common myth is that people think that if they will lift weight then they will get big bulky body with big muscles. It is not true. Bulky body comes out if the person spend 4 to 5 hour in gym per day. So if you want to make big muscles then you have to spend at least three hours a day for weight lifting. There are many people who want big muscles but do not want to do any weight lifting. They just take drugs that make big muscles but these drugs result in numerous side effects.
If you do weight lifting for just 30 minutes on alternate days then it will tone your body but will not make any big muscles. Weight lifting helps in burning calories. Even at the time when you are not exercising. Yes, believe me it is true. Suppose you do weight lifting three days a week for 30 minutes and you are regular in it. Now suppose there is a time of the day when you are watching TV. Even at this time you are burning calories. This is because of your muscle toned body.
If you do weight lifting regularly then you have muscles in place of fat. These muscles help in loosing weight.
