Sporadically for about 4 years, but have gotten much smarter about it over the past year

4-6 times/wk VERY consistently for 2 yrs.
2-3 times/wk inconsistently and on too few calories for the previous 6 yrs.

That's okay, you're doing it. We all had to begin at some point.

4 years for me.

Instead of years or months, I am in the weeks. 2 to be specific.

Awesome! Welcome to lifting! It's so much fun and empowering!

I've been lifting since I was about 17 or so. I'm 33.
I've had a few breaks (grad school and a back issue), but I've been mostly consistent.

I love it and would do it over cardio ANY DAY.

I've been lifting since I was 13, and I am 32...so, 19 years (wow!). I remember like it was yesterday. I was big into softball and basketball in high school, and my dad bought me a Weider bench set for my 13th birthday. It was the best present ever!!

I've been lifting for about 1.5 yrs. I'm relatively new but it felt so natural and was able to pick it up really quickly. I know I will lift for the rest of my life!

About 2 years. I wish I would have picked it up a lot sooner!

4 years on/off. The last year I became more serious and started training smarter instead of harder.
