Weight training or Cardio?


LET THE DEBATE BEGIN

What is better weight training or cardio?

I personally feel that the body needs both weight training and cardio.  Weight lifting helps build strength. This paired with cardio can lead to the best results.  For me cardio helps make me feel best.  I really enjoy a good run.  Running on the treadmill for around an hour 3 times a week helps assure that my blood is flowing nice and smooth.  When I miss a workout I really slow down and I can feel it in a negative way.    A lot of doctors believe that everyone needs cardio.  I personally agree.  The results from cardio are unbelievable.  Since I started my cardio training I never slept so well.  I also breathe better and feel better overall.  I also do a lot of weight lifting.  I weight lift 3 times a week.  To keep my numbers up I must be consistent.  When I miss days I have trouble keeping up.  Missing days does not really affect my every day as much as cardio does.  This is why I feel that cardio is more important.
What do you think?

  1. This is so true! I know I feel much more bogged down when I skip a day or two on the treadmill. The more I run, the more I find it is easier to fall asleep and I have that much more energy throughout my day. Pairing my runs with a great strength training plan helps optimize my results as well.
    Keep up the good work!
