My arms are like pencils. My legs are not a whole lot better. I'm a pretty darn good runner, and I'd probably do pretty darn well in a triathlon, but give me a couple sacks of potatoes to carry and I'm down for the count.
One main reason I avoided weight training is because I have heard so many horror stories about guys getting injured from doing them wrong. So I've considered getting a personal trainer, but again, I've heard horror stories about poorly trained "trainers" doing more harm than good. It's hard to know who is good and who's a useless hack.

Most cardio involves long hours of repetative movement. I know many many people who've injured themselves running, biking, etc..
