Are you all about pumping weights? Or maybe you prefer building a good sweat via some honest cardio work? In the gym, at home or at the park, they're all valid forms of self-improvement. Should you be favouring one over the other, though?
Weights versus cardio still perplexes many, so here's the who, what, where, why, when and how for a healthier you.
In my opinion every man and woman should be doing cardiovascular work along with elements of weight training. Whether your goal is weight loss, reshaping or toning, there are too many people getting their heart rates up while forgetting and neglecting varied resistance exercises. And on the other spectrum, there are those looking to build mass, but are spending too little time doing aerobic work which in effect, can cause a severe detriment to your health in the long run. It's all good and well you can lift heavy, but slightly embarrassing if you can't run to save your life.
So when push comes to shove, it's important that you find a healthy balance between the two that helps you achieve your personal fitness goals, while also up-keeping your all-round health and well-being.
