One thing I find hilarious about Ellen...well two things, is that: 1. She doesn't allow any comments on her blog. It's easy to spout nonsense you can't back up if you are talking into a vacuum and not allowing any response to your statements. 2. She doesn't bother to support her claims with a SINGLE link to any supporting research. Anyone can say anything. I can say the grass is blue and the sky is green if I want to, but that doesn't make it true. If you are going to make such a bold and absolutist statement, you better be prepared to back it up with some valid research articles and links. Speaking of, how about these: http://stretchcoach.com/articles/strength-training/ http://www.uihealthcare.org/content.aspx?id=22991 http://www.muscleforlife.com/weightl...oint-problems/ https://www.acsm.org/docs/current-comments/rtandip.pdf

I am in no condition to be lifting weights of any seriousness.
But quite a few dancer/instructors swear by them. And I follow those ... http://www.dancefitnesswithjessica.c...f21fee13b44b46 To be sure, it's those circuit-training-inspired light numbers, but it's still (to me) serious weights ...

Well there is the lady that was doing 3 hours of just cardio a day then upped it to 4 hours a day 4 days a week, two hours a day on Friday, two hours a day on Saturday and one hour a day on sunday and was trying to figure out how to break out of that size 16 dress and get to the Promised Land dress size of 14. After 7 months of just cardio, she was still a size 16, just a smaller one but still a size 16 nonetheless. Then she got up to a size 18 due to depression of thinking she was never going to get there then she started lifting weights and in 5 months was a size 12 from a size 18! She got to the Promised Land plus some! Who was that anyway? Oh wait! That was me. Then there is the nearly 70 year old lady that got taken off of her osteoporosis medication because she started lifting weights. She got up to 10 lbs dumb bells then 15 and her doctor said your bones are strong enough. No more medicine and this is years after being a slave to those pills. Just sayin'.
