(ThyBlackMan.com) Regardless of your fitness goals, weight lifting is an incredible way to get and stay in shape. Many people believe that if theyre trying to lose weight, theyre going to bulk up, or wont see the numbers on the scale go down when weight training. This isnt true. Apart from that myth, there are several myths regarding women bulking up or achieving a male physique which also arent true. Now that weve gone through some of the myths surrounding weight training, lets detail some of the reasons why weight lifting is beneficial for anyone.

1. Muscle Isnt as Roomy as Fat

One pound weighs the same whether its fat or muscle. However, one pound of muscle doesnt appear as lumpy, it is smoother in appearance, and doesnt take up as much space on your body. Therefore, if youre carrying around more lean muscle than body fat, it is going to show up, in a positive way. Youll appear leaner, healthier, and your overall physique is going to improve. You might weigh the same as an individual who is overweight, but if you have leaner muscle mass, as opposed to more body fat, youre definitely going to look different.

2. Improve Your Balance

Building strength also helps you improve your overall balance. Youll find it easier to walk, run, and perform other exercises or tasks, which require you to balance your body weight. Youll also find that your posture is going to improve over time, when youre lifting weights.

3. Reduce Stress Levels

This one doesnt have anything to do with physique or appearance, but instead, with your mental health. If you are a stressed individual (who isnt), worry about everything, and find it hard to concentrate, try lifting weights a couple of times each week. Youll clear your mind, increase endorphin levels, and youll feel balanced after a great weight lifting session.

4. Improve Your Sleep Patterns

When you do things which exhaust your body, you tire it out, meaning at night, youre going to be ready to lay down and fall asleep. This isnt just weight lifting, but any physical or cardiovascular activity for that matter. Try to lift weights, go to the gym, and live an active and healthy lifestyle. Its going to help you improve your sleep patterns, and fall and stay asleep at night, if you have suffer from insomnia or other sleep conditions.

5. Lose Weight, Burn Calories

Lifting weights allows your body to burn more calories than it does if youre only doing cardiovascular training. Why? Weight lifting burns calories while youre working out. However, it continues to burn calories throughout the day, for up to 24-48 hours after you lift. This is in contrast to cardiovascular training, where your body only continues to burn calories for a few hours after your workout. Basically, when youre weight training, your body continues working even after your done, meaning its burning more calories than it would if you were at rest.

There are numerous benefits to weight lifting and exercising in general. If youve heard the myths, or dont think weight lifting is for you, think again. Anyone can benefit from lifting, and these are just a few of the many reasons why.
