We come across a number of different diets and hundreds of ways to perform cardio when we look for the ways to get physically fit, but sometimes none of them seems to work. Many of us associate weight lifting or deadlifting a thing only meant for the professional body-builders. Some of us may go as far as thinking that weight lifting will turn us into a Hulk, and this could not be any further from the truth.
