Very nice to see your post!    Anyway, I started 'formal' weight training 
about 5 weeks ago.  What a difference.  Most of my lifting is done with 
free weights which makes it easier to build up the weaker side (according 
to my instructor, very common).  When using a machine, a person's stronger 
side will do most of the work.  Not so with free weights.  Can not believe 
the difference in everything!  I have not done anything that feels as great 
as this weight lifting thing.  Apparently weight training gets oxygen to 
every muscle group in your body.  I'm really beginning to feel a difference 
in my weaker side.  Word of caution - be sure to have a knowledgeable 
person get you going.  You can really injure yourself if you do this 
improperly.

Sharon
