1) Increased Metabolic Rate- adding muscle increases our metabolism naturally.
2) Increasing and Restoring Bone Density- prevent and fight osteoporosis by building strong bones.

5) Improved Balance- strong leg and core muscles help stabilize us.
6) Decreased Risk of Coronary Disease- strength training can reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
7) Aids Rehabilitation and Recovery- the best way to strengthen and recover from an injury is to slowly build your strength around the injured area.
8.) Enhanced Performance in Sports, Exercise and Life In General- climbing stairs, carrying the kids, or walking with your spouse becomes more enjoyable.

I am trying to get her going again with weights even if it is just with the big.(Squats, deads and bench)
I just cant seem to light her spark for it again.

Rip as you put up some real good reasons, I'll treat it serious and add just one more.
It improves co-ordination as people move into the 40s. Ever seen a noobie in the gym over 45, even simple movements look challenging. Really adds to peoples long term quality of life.
Weights are finally being valued as a key exercise medium for long term health. We are finally getting over the HUGE diservice that Cooper and Nike did the world in the 70's.
Nice post.
