Weight Training a great way to stay fit and look good. Contrary to what many people think, weight training is crucial for weight loss. Working out not only changes your physical appearance, but also makes you feel good and healthy mentally. Working out however is only part of weight training as eating right is crucial (below are great resources for learning about this).

For this purpose of this site, there are two types of strength training; body building which is more dedicated to building and shaping muscles for competition or simply looking good, and weight training which is less intense and more directed to the average person.

If you are interested in weight training this page is for you as it has many great articles and tips. If you want body building training go here for a very similar page but more focused on the more intensive training. Either way I have included many body building resources below as they overlap many times.

If you are a member of a gym you can apply these tips there, otherwise you can either join a gym in your area or purchase one of the great home gym systems below. There are also many great books by weight training professionals with in depth training.

Good Luck and Have Fun,

Duncan Davis
