I love lifting, it has had a positive effect on nearly every aspect of my life. It's also allowed me to finally be able to run again after ten years of failed PT on a hip injury. I am confident now that I won't reinjure myself since I am how stronger than I ever have been in my entire life.
I was lucky and had a friend who also lifts, so for the first 6 months we lifted together 4 times a week. It's a big help to lift with someone initially so that they can critique your form and keep you accountable.
These days though I work out alone and I look forward forward to that hour alone nearly every day. The routine and the goals and the tracking make me feel so good about my day, as the article mentions, even if I get nothing else done I am still happy having pr'd some lift or knowing how good my form was on squats or whatever.
I highly suggest Strong for those looking for an app to track their workouts in. It's the best I have found.
