Weights: Do We Really Need Them?


Yesterday, I went jogging with my friends and instead of taking a walk with my 2kg dumbbells, i decided to jog with them but eventually got tired of holding them and gave up.

Afterwards, i was supposed to do some aerobics with them but was soo tired, so i didn't and decided to do it next time. Yeah, yeah, i know shouldn't have given up that easily. Sometimes, we need to motivate ourselves to get things done especially when it comes to working out.

I read an article recently and learnt that the effects of lifting weights is beneficial to pple of all ages. If combined with aerobic activity, 2-3 weight lifting sessions every week can help manage your weight, develop greater strength, reduce/eliminate pains in the muscles/joints and also increase energy and endurance.

Though, lifting heavy weights is not an easy task at all but it's worth a try for those that intend to build up large muscles especially the guys or on a lighter note ladies that wana go for the olympics! Means you will be ready to look masculine, that's what several weight lifting sessions can do to the female body. The only benefit is that you develop muscles hence no space for flabby biceps.



I have made a decision to do a weight lifting session at least 3 times a week, not bad at all considering all the benefits...hope you have too!


Cheers peeps!
