Cardio and weight lifting are both important parts of a balanced exercise routine and can help you achieve your fitness goals. The best exercise program for you depends on your goals and what you enjoy:
  • Cardio
    Improves cardiovascular health, increases stamina, and burns calories. Cardio workouts are great for boosting endurance and breaking a sweat.
  • Weight lifting
    Builds muscle strength and mass, boosts your metabolism, and improves bone density. Weight lifting is ideal for shaping and toning your body. 
Here are some things to consider when choosing between cardio and weight lifting:
  • Calories burned
    Cardio typically burns more calories than weight lifting, but your metabolism may stay elevated for longer after weight lifting. 
  • Time
    Cardio burns calories while you work out, but weight lifting builds muscle mass over time. 
  • Combining cardio and weight lifting
    Combining cardio and weight lifting can help you lose weight, burn fat, and build muscle. 
  • Starting point
    A 50-50 split of cardio and weight training is a good starting point. 
  • Listen to your body
    There's no wrong way to train as long as you're having fun and avoiding injury.
