Abstract	Due to lack of time in physical education class as well as the decreased amount of physical education class students have a week, students are not receiving adequate amounts of daily physical activity. This article describes a solution to this problem, by describing an after-school weightlifting program where students can learn how to do resistance training movements. Resistance training can be greatly beneficial for adolescents by increasing bone density and strength, reducing risk of injury, and improving overall body composition. It also improves muscular strength and endurance. The article discusses how to implement an after-school program at a school, while also giving an example of an after-school weightlifting program, Lift for Life Gym. (As Provided).
