Thought about it, snce it's near New Year's.

In my opinion, exercising/training/stretching atleast once a week would be a good thing for most people.

Absolutely lifting weights has been my all time favorite self improvement thing, would highly recommend it

I second this as a non-sporty person. I bought a couple of barbells (15kg apiece) for use at home and 20-30 minutes of just messing around with them daily has solved so many joint aches, it's almost ridiculous...

Just to note, the form has an impact and can cause more negatives than it solves if not done properly.

That's why you start off light until you get your form down then work your way up.

Duly noted and you are very right! I looked up a couple of simple exercises beforehand as I'm really not keen on getting a herniated disk or something.

From what I've seen, as long as it's nothing fancy like advanced calisthenics and power training, the exercises are straightforward and easy to grasp.
