Weightlifting: Whys and Hows
Why am I lifting weights?
That is the biggest question that a lot of people that hit the gym can t answer honestly. And then, they wonder why they don t see a change in their body and lose interest just as fast as they gained it.
First of all, you must decide what your goals are for hitting the gym. What is it that you want to accomplish with your weight training and cardio regimen. Do you want to be more competitive in your sport of choice? Do you want to lose weight, or tone up, or get bigger or stronger? Once you answer that question, then and only then, can you devise a program that is right for what you are trying to do. And, then the fun part begins, and that is trying to tailor a workout designed to fit your needs.
