  • Weight training builds strong muscles and bones.
  • Getting stronger may also help prepare you for other kinds of physical activity.
  • You can weight train at home or at a fitness center.
  • You do not need benches or bars to begin weight training at home. You can use a pair of hand weights or even two soup cans.
  • Make sure you know the correct posture and that your movements are slow and controlled.
  • If you decide to buy a home gym, check its weight rating (the number of pounds it can support) to make sure it is safe for your size.
  • If you want to join a fitness center where you can use weights, shop around for one where you feel at ease.
