Should I turn to lifting weights?

A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I asked a question a short time ago about how my confidence is so little when I am at school. From what I can gather I need to make myself - be myself. I need to stop careing about what others could think of me and be who I am. But I get so bitter after a bad day at school, and I think I could have found an alternative. Do you think lifting weights is a possibilaty. The more irratated I get the longer I do it for, it could be like an anger therapy, I would make me feel stronger. I get so mad and I need to take it out on something, if I forced myself to lift heavy weights it I'd be able to take all that anger out with pain, wouldn't I?

Thanks, everyone. I'm just not really athletic, I just get so annoyed, would, 3.3lbs damage me if I started to lift weights that heavy?

this is true, a physical activity, such as weight lifting would help, personally if I'm annoyed I go running which seems to help. Just be careful when you're really angry not to go at it too hard and injure yourself.

DeadEyeDick agony auntDo they play football in your country? or im sure you could wrestle? or go find a training gym, and inquire into boxing, or mma training! bro I lifted weights and started juicing when I was in 9th grade,(14yrs old) it was extremely stupid of me, and now the slightest wrong movement gives me sprains, and rips, you dont need to max out, if you think lifting is a good release for aggression, you should try punching a bag bro!! seriously!

Good idea! Actually, any form of excercise would do (I play badminton). the only thing I would say about weights is to watch the actual weight of them - don't lift anything too heavy for yourself as this can cause all sorts of problems! Good luck - BE YOURSELF!

Dont lift heavy weights though! Taking on too much will only damage you and your bones are not yet fully matured so you can end up damaging your bone structure for life. Good idea about taking your anger out on something though! Just not very heavy weights. Start with weights that are lighter and build up naturally with more weights as is logical for someone of your age. Maybe get an instructor to guide you to how to do it safely. Also, if the weights aren't enough, take a good long run/jog, outside, or inside on a treadmill. A good sweat is a great way to release built up tension and anger.

I think that's a great idea. Just make sure you don't lift something too heavy and damage your back. Go or it.
