A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

Balance between Cardio and Strength Training

Historically, there has always been a question of whether strength training (weights or resistance) workouts or cardio (heart pumping) workouts were more beneficial. However both types of workouts are equally important. Combining both types of workouts into your exercise regime is the key to ultimate health and fitness wellness. Cardiovascular workouts are essential to keep your internal organs working as efficiently as possible as well as preventing cardiovascular disease. Strength training is vital to ensure muscle mass is not lost and building muscle helps your body burn calories efficiently. If your goals are to build strength you may want to focus more on strength training. Likewise, if your goals are to lose weight or fat you may want to focus more on cardio. Either way, both should still be incorporated into your workouts.
