Cardio and Strength Training Combined

For complete health and fitness benefits, it is essential to have a well-rounded training program that includes both Cardio and strength work. The benefits of Cardio Training have long been established, but it is only part of the picture. Regular strength training prevents age-related lean muscle tissue loss, helping the basal metabolic rate to remain high. While Cardio training has a high caloric expenditure, the larger the muscle mass, the higher the resting metabolic rate. Therefore both modes play an important role in weight management\weight loss.

Use of Cardio and Strength Training Combined

  • Anyone seeking the sustainable benefits of exercise needs to combine both Cardio and strength training as both play an essential role in fitness and health.
  • All ages and most populations benefit from the combination of both forms of training, including elderly, adults and children
  • By combining strength with Cardio exercise, the likelihood of injuries is decreased

    • Benefits of Cardio and Strength Training Combined

  • Cardio exercise has a high caloric expenditure, which makes it an excellent form of exercise for weight loss and weight management.
  • Cardio exercise lowers resting heart rate and improves Cardiovascular function.
  • Strength training done correctly will balance the body's musculature, giving the muscles a toned and defined appearance.
  • Basically, Cardio exercise removes the subcutaneous fat (on top of the muscle) and strength work improves the appearance of the muscle underneath!
  • A combination of both improves functional capacity for the demands of daily life and sports performance
