One of the biggest myths about weight lifting is that it stunts your growth. No studies have ever been shown that lifting weights stunts or inhibits growth. But, as with any exercise program, if you do too much too soon, physical problems can occur no matter how old the person doing the exercise is.
The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn throughout the day. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services encourages adults to engage in muscle-strengthening exercisesâsuch as weightliftingâat least two times per week. If you lift weights at a low or moderate intensity, you may not need as many calories as you think.
