I recommend weightlifting to anyone and everyone. Just 'cause you lift doesn't mean you wannabe a muscle-bound freakazoids. Resistance training coupled with mild calesthenics or other aerobic exercise not only helps with bone and muscle density, it can actually be easier on your joints than straight cardio workouts.

I finally ran out of excuses. To "make time" to work out, I get up an hour early and am trying to get ot be a bit earlier.

Once I got into my bowflex, I learned how much I really liked weight lifting/resistance. I loved how the muscles that I could see looked so much better.

Now, if I could just drop the slabs of flab. Caloric intake (or lack thereof) does not seem to make that much of an impact.
