I love weightlifting and doing cardio workout. I've been working out for 6 years now and nothing beats it! It relieves your stress, betters your self esteem and makes you feel completely energized I have fairly a lot of experience in this considering I never "studied" or a qualified trainer but 6 years experience pays off well.

If you have any questions about pills, exercises, or health issues ask me! I'll be glad to help.

what kind of cardio workout do you do? boxing,running,etc.

I just do the simple running/jogging/walking on the treadmill. I start off at 3.5/4.0 speed for a quarter mile, run the next half at about 7.0/8.0 and then the final quarter at about 3.5 again. I don't go crazy but I just do it to keep up my endurance.

Chad have you done any powerlifting. I competed in it on and off for 20 years. I agree with what you said about weightlifting if kept in right perspective.

I enjoy weight lifting as well. I've been out of it for the past month due to hectic work matters, but I'm getting back in the game! Health and fitness is a big issue globally and I think that christians need to keep their bodies healthy...without being prideful of course :) I'm into health and nutrition. I guess I could call it a hobby of mine.

hi, i used to go to a country gym and it was friendly where core participents helped each other. i went 6 days a week. 6yrs. later at 48yrs. old i'm trying to go to a gym. the one closest to me is very snobby. it's hard to feel like going because people aren't friendly , they even hog two machines at once ( narcessistic). any tips out there? no one i know wants to go with me.

Hi barbly, my suggestion is to buy yourself one of those real deal home gyms like the Crossbow or Total Gym. Put it in a room with bright lights, room temperature and mirrors (I find mirrors motivating). Add a tv or some books :)

Hi,
Ive been going to the gym for about 3months, and really enjoy it.
I have been doing heavy wieghts but less of them, (to Build Bulk, cuase i am really, really skinny).

Anything that you could recommentd to help quicken the process? Im going to buy some more protein this week.

Also, i have to agree, lifting weights etc, seems to give you more energy, and makes you feel so much better.

Weight lifting is good for your bones and muscle mass. But there is one thing that people who take up weight lifting must be aware of. That is keeping your back straight, making sure you are in control of your posture when lifting heavy weights. There is no point in seeking the benefits of weight training wile at the same time causing damage to your spine.

If you are going to take up weight training then please go and get a fully qualified trainer to teach you the fundamentals, to ensure that you know the right way to lift weights. You may only have to use a trainer for a few sessions before you know the ground rules, warming up, breathing technique and posture. It may cost some money but it is worth it in the long run.
