Weight Training?????
Weight training is a mix of bodybuilding and weight lifting, a technique for
developing muscle strength by progressively adding amount of weights in your
weight training routine. However unlike bodybuilding and weight lifting, weight
training is not a sport. It is more a like a type of fitness program, i.e.
(cardio workout).

Weight training is based on some basic principles;

Overload Principle
Progressive Resistance and
Principle of Specificity

Overload principle – this principle states that size, strength and endurance
of the muscle will only improve if it should be putted under stress (the actual
exercise activity) is greater than that normally encountered.

Progressive principle – states that as strength and endurance of the muscle
increase the resistance (heavier weights) must be periodically increased if
further gains are desired.

Effective weight training requires you to lift a little more load/resistance
each time you go on workout. That will eventually enable you to lift a lot more
weights than what you originally started with.

Principle of specificity – last but not the least this principal states that
the development of muscular fitness is specific to the muscles trained. This
means that if you were doing weight training for a sport, then weight training
will be most beneficial if the exercise resembles the action of the sport.

Why do weight training?
For a beginner, entering a gym full of hard bodies for the first time can make
you feel you inferior. There are so many different muscles to learn about and so
many different exercises to concentrate different muscles group. The idea is to
get to target your every body part.

Weight training is done by different individuals for achieving different
objective; these objectives may include the following:

an Olympic medal or some champion ship, doing weight training can help you with
your daily activity. This is advantageous to have for both men and women.

Strengthen bones – Weight training putts your bone under stress and when
bones are under stress they tend to become stronger naturally. Hence more weight
training much stronger bones and helps you to fight osteoporosis.

Fighting obesity – Weight training can help you in fighting against weight.
Following weight training in your weight loss regime will help increase your
body metabolic rate because of the increase in your overall muscle mass. This
