2. Top Ten Reasons to Get Hooked on Weightlifting 
By Garrett J. Braunreiter, GHF's Success Coach

Why do some men and women, in the effort to improve their fitness, 
still resist weightlifting? Here are some motivating ideas for building 
weight-room confidence and helping you understand why this method 
of exercise is so very important to your success…

1. Lift weights to lose fat: One of the biggest mistakes people make 
when starting an exercise and nutrition program is not including a 
weightlifting program with their cardiovascular exercise and low-fat 
eating regimen. This is unfortunate because when we cut calories 
without exercise, we can lose muscle as well as fat. And when 
you lose muscle, your body becomes a lot less efficient at burning 
fat. However, when you gain muscle, you can actually condition 
your body to burn fat more efficiently...24 hours a day!

2. You feel strong and fit: It's a great feeling when you look in 
the mirror during your workouts and see your back muscles, 
biceps, shoulders, and legs flexing. If you're unsure about proper 
lifting technique, hire a personal trainer for a few sessions. The 
money you invest is well worth it, as is the time and energy you 
put towards an effective program. And weightlifting can definitely 
increases your confidence. It's a wonderful feeling to feel strong, 
especially after a workout. You look forward to looking in the 
mirror, and actually like what you see. 

3. You have more energy: Even if you're just starting out with a 
few basic weightlifting exercises, very quickly you won't believe
 how fantastic you'll feel. Instead of making an excuse to skip 
your workout, you'll make excuses to do just one more set. 
Plus, with the excess fat you're going to lose, there will be 
less of you to lug around and therefore less fatigue.

4. You’ll finally see the results: Knowing what to do makes all 
the difference. Many people go to the gym for months – even 
years – and wonder why they're not getting any results. Well,
 it's because they're doing the same darn workout every time. 

This is a critical point: you can either quit out of frustration, or 
you can become a sponge for knowledge and get some help. 
Get your hands on fitness magazines, books, the trainers at 
the gym, ask other successful exercisers, or hire a coach. 
Learn what you need to do to make your program successful. 
Acquiring the knowledge and getting help is all you need to 
get hooked.

At first you may question what you're doing: are you going to 
get too big, are you wasting your time, how do you know this 
will work? But then you see other men and women who have 
been weightlifting for years and they look terrific. Here's the 
telltale sign that your program is working: you start to see 
definition and feel firmness in muscles you never thought you had.

5. You won't get bored: I suspect many people don't lift weights 
because they think it will be boring. Just remember to change 
your routine every 3-4 weeks to keep things fresh and your 
body responding to your training. Change the reps, the sets,
the weight, the rest period, the exercise order, etc. Training 
only gets boring if you allow it to.
