Fitness/weightlifting is very big in the United States

But due to the many different types of movements, it’s also very big in the world.

Fitness is very big in Asia. Weightlifting and the various types of power lifts are very big in Europe. Fitness is also big in Africa and the middle east; however, there is much less of it because of Islam making it illegal to lift weights there. While some of those who practice the various lifts do them merely for health reasons or for aesthetic reasons, most do it for the sheer enjoyment of the physical activity. It also serves to build their physical strength in order for them to be able to lift big weights.

Weightlifting has become more popular than ever before. Many fitness equipment manufacturers are now turning their attention to the weightlifting market. In past years, weightlifting enthusiasts would use a bench set or a free weight. Today, many are using body weight, a dumbbell, weightlifting exercise machines, kettlebells, medicine balls, PVC bags, and even weighted vests and heavy jump ropes. A lot of people who enjoy weightlifting focus, not only on the strength gaining part, but also on the fitness building part. Some, though, feel intimidated by their own weight. This should not be the case and weightlifting can be a powerful complement to just about any body sport.
