Have you been getting your resistance training in, or just hopping mindlessly onto your favorite piece of cardio machine? If you have not been lifting weight then It’s time find a way to fit it in to your fitness routine. If you want to lose body fat ,and lose inches then you have to lift weight or train with resistance. I am going to discuss several reasons why everyone should train with resistance, and debunk several myths associated with lifting weights. Resistance training is exercising to increase your muscular strength and muscular endurance by lifting weights repetitively with free weights, weight machines, or bands.
There are many reasons why everyone should incorporate resistance training into their fitness routine. Here is a short list of the positives to weight training. It helps to improve your physique, makes you physically stronger, and improves your posture. Along with the visual effects of weight training here is a list of additional benefits.

- Increases your metabolism.
- Increases your bone density.
- Helps with your balance.

- Decreases your risk of injury.
- Helps your body work more efficiently.
After all of the benefits I listed for resistance training, you may wonder why more people don’t use it in their fitness plans or to lose weight. There are many myths and mystery surrounding resistance training that hold people back from incorporating it into their daily exercise plan.
Here are 3 myths that stop people from lifting weights.
Myth #1: (Women) I will get big and bulky.
Truth #1: A major factor in massive muscle growth is testosterone. Naturally women do not have as much testosterone as men to produce bulky muscles.
Myth #2: I don’t want to build muscle because if I stop it will turn to fat.
Truth #2: Muscle and fat are two different types of tissue, so muscle cannot turn to fat.
Others reasons that people do not do resistance training are because they do not know how, they are afraid of getting injured, or they are intimidated. These are all valid fears; when ever you are thinking about incorporating resistance training into your routine seek out the help of a fitness professional.
