    I loved it immediately! I did notice that after a few weeks I wasn't getting as sore afterwards though, so that will probably help you!

    I spent my lunch hour reading about lifting. I want to start. I have no idea what to do or what proper technique is. I have free weights at home. I think I will You Tube some videos and try to figure something out to do tonight.

    I fell for it the way that I've always fallen for a guy: a mixture of confusion and intrigue at first, but then once I found my way around there was no going back.

    I hated it the first time - but started loving it more and more every time after that. I do mostly cardio now but still do some weights after every workout even though I am restricted due to a back injury.

    Picked up my first weight in the 80s. When I have been consistent the results are great. I turned 60 yesterday & I feel great. I look forward to lifting. Having MFP pals who are interested helps.

    Yes, I include cardio so I work on heart health too, even though I dislike it. Having DVRed TV shows helps getting the cardio part done.

    When I was younger I could keep in shape with strength training by itself. No longer, have to have both.
