Lifting and health

Can you point me towards an article or blog post summarizing the evidence in favor of lifting from a general health point of view?

I just started dating a surgeon who isn’t too keen on lifting. If she doesn’t change her mind, obviously this relationship has no possible future.

There are countless articles out there easily available via simple Google searches.

For a more rigorous treatment of the subject, she can take a look at our UpToDate article when it gets published this summer.
