Weightlifting or weight training is a type of strength training with many benefits and you should add them to your training programs. It includes weights to build muscle and improve overall strength, Sameeran Chetia, a certified fitness instructor, told indianexpress.com.

Here are some benefits of weight lifting:

* Weight training helps maintain muscle and strength and helps increase bone density in people. As people get older, their joints are prone to problems like arthritis and osteoporosis. A proper weight training regimen can help avoid such health problems.

* Also prepares one for daily activities. Lifting weights every day at the gym will make it easy to lift a heavy object off the ground and place it on a shelf above you.

*A well-designed weight training program could help you achieve a well-toned body. Many studies have proven this with strength training one was able to burn more fat and put on lean muscle mass.

Concluding, Chetia said: Always consult a certified personal trainer before starting your weight training journey. They can help you master proper form during exercise which will help you progress safely. Also, don’t go overboard with lifting weights that are too heavy initially. Lift the right amount of weight when you first start and increase them as you progress.
