I took a kinesiology class in college to learn to lift weights. It wasn't until I was forced to take control of my health that I stepped foot back into a gym. I hired a personal trainer and nutritionist and in as little as 6 months, I was on my way to big changes.
Why I Love It:
I love the stress relief it offers and how powerful it feels to push heavy weights.
How I Stay Motivated:
I set small goals and I imagine mysef parading around in little more than a thong and that usually does the trick! ;-)
BB Accomplishments:

My short term goal at the moment is to start training my legs again and to get them into even better shape than before.
Goal (Long):
I just started lifting hard again the other day and incorporating cardio. I had a little set back over the holidays. I discovered that I had spina bifida occulta several years ago and on occasion I've been known to wretch my back when working out or even with just a sudden twist or turn. The first time it happened, I was in so much pain that I went to an orthopedic surgeon and that's when we discovered the spina bifida. Long story short, just before the holidays, I wretched it again and haven't been able to work out for over a month. Well, I'm back at it and taking it slow, but determined to make some real progress. Good luck to everyone in reaching their fitness goals!!
XOX,
Jamie
What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?
Probably deadlifts, because its easy to have poor form and hurt your back or hamstrings, or shoulder exercises that strain your rotator cuff. Progress through shoulder exercises at a reasonable pace.

Love the Oxygen cover and the article. Of course I open it up over my trainers house and the first thing I read is that doing sprints in#1 butt exercise. That was right after our sprint session at the track. Great minds think alike. Keep up the great work.
