The 2 biggest reasons for women to lift is it fights osteoporosis and builds joint strength. The joint strength is probably the best for guys too.
Ok, but if you don't know what you are doing don't try and lift. Find someone to take you under your wing. You can do a lot more damage than good with weights if you are not knowledgeable. There also are many, many studies coming out about the toll lifting has on the CNS (central nervous system), and you should wait AT LEAST 48 hours between training the same muscles, and 24 between any lifting workout.
