For the past few months your friends have been telling you that you should start to lift weights. You understand that by adding resistance training to your weekly training routine that you could potentially improve your muscle mass as well as your bone density when you start to lift weights.
Maybe you understand that by strength training you could increase your metabolism therefore allowing your body to burn fat even when you are sitting at work typing away. You know that you should start to lift weights but for some reason you are scared to start.
I often hear responses like this from people who are hesitant to lift weights:

- “I am intimidated by all of the machines and weights.
