Are You Doing Too Much Cardio and Not Enough Strength Training?
As a personal trainer I’m always curious to see what people do for their
exercise programs. Most often I see people come into the gym and head
straight to the treadmill, or some other piece of cardio equipment for
30 to 45 minutes. Then they breeze through the strength training
equipment in about 10 to 15 minutes, doing lots of repetitions with very
light resistance. And after a period of time doing this type of
routine they eventually come to me questioning why they seem to be
getting fatter while exercising more and eating less. To which I reply,
"you are doing too much cardio and not enough strength training". Please click here to see the entire post...
