My doctor recently suggested that I try weight training, but I'm not sure where to start! Do you know anything about lifting weights?

It's a type of strength training for developing the strength and size of muscles. Why does your doctor want you to start weight training?

I guess he thinks it be a good addition to the cardio that I regularly do. What are some of the health benefits of weight training?

It increases your physical strength.

Well, I guess that would be good! Do you know any exercises or equipment for a beginner?

Weighted bars, dumbbells, and weight stacks are  good equipment for beginners.

Great, thanks. What else should I know before I get started?

There are many sports where strength training is central, such as bodybuilding, powerlifting, highland games, and discus and javelin throw.
