Brian Kim heartily recommends lifting weights if you’re a man. Not because he thinks you’d feel better about yourself with biceps like the governor of Los Angeles. No, apparently regular weightlifting helps combat:

• Depression
• Irritability
• Fatigue
• Inability to concentrate
• Feeling easily weak and tired
• Difficulties coping with stress
• Sleeping disorders

For Kim it seems weight-lifting is an excellent way of helping you to maintain your concentration and focus. What¨s more:

Weight lifting gives me so much energy. Energy to go the extra mile. Energy to take the weights to the next level. Energy to accomplish my goals. Energy to do anything I wish. You can literally feel the energy coursing through your veins throughout the day. It’s a great feeling. It’s like igniting jet fuel. It’s that good.

If you still doubt the benefits of the dumbbell after reading Kim’s experience and decide it’s not for you, remember that just getting up from that desk and walking for 30 minutes a day will improve you overall well-being and increase your stamina and physical health. We don’t all have to look like Arnie !
