Well I started listing weights last week. My muscles ache a lot. Am so focused and I agree with the part that I sleep and eat better.

The doctors should prescribe a bar and some weights for some of the so called invalids instead of pushing pills,especially for people with high blood pressure.Try excersising and eating a healthy diet instead of making the pharmacutical firms rich and leave the pills alone.

@Donald – you are totally right. Lifting heavy weights has actually been shown to release various brain chemicals that result in more positive feelings. It’s not just mental, it’s chemical. (Although I’m not sure which is the chicken and which is the egg.) Congratulations on your triumphs!

The reason I lift weights is mental. I went through a depression several years ago. I was working behind a desk from before the sun came up until after the sun went down with no physical activity. The first time I lifted weights, I could tell an immediate difference and haven’t stopped since. I’ve heard spots on the radio saying that there have been studies showing that exercise could help with depression and other mental disorders (which is why I tried it in the first place). I don’t know if it is the same for everyone, but for me, I need the physical exertion for my mental well being.
