Strength Training is a MUST for ALL

It is all about energy and you.  We all need to learn and exercise discipline to properly manage energy.

All life functions revolve about energy.  Eating, earning living, resting, sleeping, reproduction, and entertainment are all ways of managing energy.  Weightlifting is the most practical way to perfecting these  skills by persistent effort to understand the laws of nature.

Above all, life is too short.  We can learn how to lift weights by the 4th month of life.  Yet we do not qualify for first grade elementary schooling before 6 years of existence.  Your engagement in serious weightlifting training most probably will  pay back more than many other commitments in life.  

We all know that some habits are bad yet we still cannot kick them out of our lives.  Weightlifting is that play activity that puts you in touch with the Almighty nature and unequivocally convinces you that gaining knowledge and exercising discipline are your best options in bettering your existence.    

Children, elderly, and women, in particular, are in critical need to weightlifting training than any other segment in society.  Early training puts the child on the right track of cherishing health and discipline.  Weightlifting training provides elderly with independence and sense of immortality.  Training women is tantamount to bringing tranquility to all aspects of society, due to the crucial role of women in society.   

No matter what walk of life you come from your ability to lift your own head and shoulders and walk on strong healthy legs is what makes your life, on Earth, tolerable. 

There is a universal misbelief that walking, moving, and executing our daily tasks, are sufficient exercises to keep us healthy. I have never met any person who has neglected exercise in his or her life who lacks that misbelief.  People from diverse cultures and beliefs  share the same misbelief about exercise. We all forget that healthy walking requires healthy breathing muscles, healthy heart and blood vessels, not just strong legs. Take the example of an overweight person who counts on walking to do away with the extra pounds. During walking, the extra bodyweight might incur serious injury to the knee's delicate structures. Such injuries would require extensive periods of rest to heal. This sets back the entire plan of losing weight. Afterward, that person has another vulnerable limb to worry about. Had that person strengthened his knee muscles before, he or she would be better-off walking.

Most of our crying appeals to spread the sport of weightlifting and educate the public about its benefits in both preventing ailing bodies and saving national health resources have fallen on deaf ears. Mostly because of the fact that those in power are senile politicians whose greed for wealth overshadows any potential field of national welfare. 

Aside from its health benefits, weightlifting is a nurturing sport for the youth. It is a real everyday challenge to the developing psyche of adolescence. A challenge that will approximate the laws of physics and biology to the defiant, youthful adolescent, that outweighs any other method of persuasion. No other more convincing logic than a steel bar obeying strict, unforgiving rules of nature.
