Who can benefit from weight training? Absolutely everyone! That is no exaggeration.

More and more people are realizing that in order to permanently reshape your body you need to train with weights.

If you need to lose fat, resistance training is the key ingredient to losing the fat and keeping it off.

If you want to build more muscle, obviously you can't do it without weight training.

Weight training will help improve your athletic performance, no matter what your sport, from tennis, to basketball, to soccer, track, football and everything in between.

You'll reap great health benefits as well, you'll increase your life span as well as increasing the quality of your life.

Not only will training with weights add muscle to your body but it will help you burn fat too. How so, you ask?

First of all, you will burn calories during the actual workout, much like you would while doing aerobics.

Secondly, unlike low intensity, long duration aerobics, weight training revs up your metabolism so that you are burning more calories for up to 39 hours after your workout! You burn calories even at rest!

Okay, so that's two great fat burning reasons to lift weights.

Here's another, probably the key one to melting away body fat and keeping it off. For every pound of muscle you add to your body, your metabolism cranks up and you burn an additional 30 to 50 calories a day. Again, more calories burned when you aren't doing a thing (continued below).

What does that mean? Well, let's say your body burned 2,000 calories a day before you started your weight training routine.

Let's fast forward. You've been weight lifting now for about 6 months, you've added a good solid 10 pounds of muscle. You look better, you feel better, you have more energy.

In addition to all of that, your body now burns about 2,300 to 2,500 calories a day!

Put another way, you can continue to eat 2,000 calories a day and you'll lose about 1/2 to 1 pound of fat per week without doing anything else.

Or, you can start eating more each day and you won't put on fat!

Training with weights is the key to dramatically changing your body.

It is also the only way to make sure that you don't become a statistic.

In other words, weight training will help make sure that you don't become one of the 95% plus people that loses weight only to gain it back and more.

If you're an athlete, adding lean muscle and/or losing body fat through weight training will help your chosen sport by increasing your power, quickness, explosiveness, strength, and endurance.
