Well when it comes to weightlifting without the proper condition from stretching and limbering, the joints lose there elasticity, and there natural lubrication. A lot of weightlifters take Vitamin D pills to strengthen there joints. I mean your knee, like Zeph said can deteriorate in a quick amount of time. Granted it took my friend to know that his left knee is practically gone after like 16months of weight training.
Seriously a couch is there, to try and make you better, but only for what you are supposed to do. If you talk to a trainer about losing weight, its replaced by lots more aerobic activities and more stretching with more conditioning without weightlifting too much. You tighten the problem area's but you restore, positive muscle which is healthy. The one that is able to react more quickly and most importantly the one that can give more oxygen too. So think wisely, sometimes it might be wise to adapt your own method of working out rather then listening to someone.
Zeph was right, in a way, I encourage light weightlifting, nothing more then 50% of your body weight.
