Weight training: Is it a right choice for you?

Weight training Is it a right choice for you?

• In one of my previous posts, I have said that
  workouts do not have cons. The cons depend on
  your expectations and requirements. If a person
  does not want to pack on muscles and just
  maintain flexibility, then may be a weight
  training is a con for him.

That being said, let us quickly jump to pros and
cons (on case basis) of weight training

• Adjustable Load
• If youre not strong enough to bench press 80 kg,
  then you can bench press 40 kg. There are all
  kinds of weights available in the gym so that a
  relatively weak person can start with light
  weights, and improve his/her strength week by
  week and finally get to those 80 kg bench
  presses.

2. Muscle Gain

• By muscle gain, I do not mean becoming Kai Greene
  (that is a remarkable level though). I mean
  packing on a decent amount of muscle mass to
  support your body. That muscle mass will protect
  you from fractures and injuries. Your metabolism
  and energy levels will be high. You will get
  through the day much easier than you did earlier.
  Overall, your body just goes up a level which
  benefits you in a number of ways, thanks to the
  weight training.

3. Fat loss

• Weight training enables you to gain muscles,
  which in turn help burn more calories. The more
  calories you burn, the more fat you lose
  (provided youre not over eating and nullifying
  your progress). Yes, cardio also burns fat, but
  if a person has some muscle mass, it enables him
  to burn calories even hours after the workout.
  So, if you worked out in the evening, your body
  will burn more calories during the night.

4. Increased bone density

• Weight training increases your overall physical
  strength which includes strengthening the bones.
  You must have noticed the pain in your wrist when
  you lift a barbell for the first time. That is
  because your wrists are not yet strong enough to
  support the weight. Within a few weeks, you will
  notice the pain is gone, and the wrists can even
  support heavier weights. Same thing applies to
  every body part which you work on. High bone
  density means little chances of getting a
  fracture.
• There are a number of other benefits too, I just
  listed the ones which come from exercise with
  weights and machines.

Hard to spare time

• If youre the kind of person who does not have
  enough time to head out, workout for an hour and
  then come back, then weight training might be a
  cone for you. What you do instead is, get
  yourself a Qriyo fitness instructor at home, so
  that you can save the time you spend will
  commuting. Those benefits which I listed above
  (including muscle mass) can also be availed by
  doing HIIT (High-intensity interval training)
