Resistance Training. How?

In my last post, I made the case for why the ordinary person should be interested in doing resistance training. I think the argument is compelling. But then, most people would probably agree.

Resistance Training. Why?

I’m 43 now, so I grew up with the idea that lifting weights was for a certain person looking for a certain outcome. That person was some derivative of Arnold Schwarzenegger and the desired outcome was a physique that used to be described as “a condom full of walnuts”. I’ll let you fill in the graphics on that and spare you the ghastly stock image of a tooth whitened, spray tanned, over-bronzed, thin skinned bodybuilder.

Now, I realise that lifting weights (henceforth known as resistance training) is not a matter of vanity, but of health - and that it is not for a unique (and somewhat deranged) group like bodybuilders, but in fact for most people - young and old.
