Good Things Come To Those Who Lift Weights
Without including overly technical reasons (eg: increased insulin sensitivity), here’s my short list:
The Pros:
1) You’ll look better
2) You’ll feel better
3) You’ll move better
4) Your clothes will fit better
The Cons:
1) Requires effort
Got anything to add?

Hi Joe,
I’ll throw one in there.
Pro:
Your heart beats slower. When I started weight lifting last April, I had a resting heart rate (a wake up heart rate) of 68. 9 or so months later, my heart rate is around 52.
Con:
Being sore the next morning is kind of a drag (but not enough of a drag to stop)
