I started seriously lifting weights at age 16, once I reached
my 30's I found that I didn't have enough time to do serious body building
anymore. My lifting became sporadic, but luckily I have a body type  that
responds well to any weightlifting I find time to do. Perhaps someday
I'll devote more time to it again. One of the things that I miss
most about lifting is that it helped increase my mental discipline and
focus. There is something neat about being in a gym, ignoring everything
and everybody around me, and totally focusing on a physical task--trying
to acheive maximum contraction from each muscle. I haven't come across
anything that creates quite the same sense of well being. |
