Hi vortex,
Sorry to disagree with you.Sports and exercise are two different fields. Exercise is not done for fun. Nobody lifts weights just for the sake of it. Some are into professional body building and some are in to weight lifting as a competitive sport. But most do weight training to keep fit and have a good body shape. Just google for the benefits of weight training. Most people confuse it with bulging muscles and out of the world biceps and chest.
But weight training keeps you from accumulating fat, keeps your sugar and BP levels under check.Makes your heart muscles stronger and the body muscles continue to burn your calories thro out the day even when you are not exercising. Osteoprosis will never set in your bones.
well i dont say every one should do weight training. Any exercise is good. But weight training has multiple benefits.
cheers,
sri
I understand, Sri. My brother too is into body building - big time. Just to see what was so nice about it, I too indulged in it for the best part of a year. Only to find out it was not my cup of tea. Yes, it helped me tone my body and biceps nice enough that people started noticing it. But personally it was nowhere near as much fun as games and sports could be.
