    Bump and can only add other pluses for why to weight train:

    1. for being 48, it helps build integrity in joints, tendons, bones - this will be important in 10 yrs..

    2. secondary fringe benefit is that calories burn long after the training session is over. ymmv

    Love love love this! there is nothing attractive about a runway model who is just skin and bone, But a toned athlete is much much sexier!

    Just saying :) but then again I am not shallow and only look for this in a girl. But a good read none the less :)

    Yup. Flat I-starved-myself-to-this-size butts are not attractive. I know. I used to have one because I ate very little. Weights make a huge difference.
