You are Working Out to Reduce Your Weight – Is Weight Lifting or Cardio-Aerobic Exercise Better?
You probably have some friends who workout with some form of aerobic exercise – running, swimming, bicycling, stair master, treadmill, etc. You know others who use weight machines or lift weights.
They could probably engage in a lively debate about which form of exercise they like the best. That would include which one(s) are most beneficial.
The truth is that any of them are much better than doing no exercise. They are all beneficial as long as they are done in a way that doesn’t promote injuries.
Even weight lifting comes in many forms – lighter weights, heavier weights, many different machines, etc. There are multiple aerobic-cardio exercises as well – more than listed above.
If You Are Starting an Exercise Program, Which Form is the Easiest for You?
Starting to exercise is usually a major undertaking. It isn’t easy at first. As you build up strength and endurance it becomes much less of an effort. Starting with whichever exercise you find the least burdensome is the best way to begin. You will be more likely to follow through and stay on schedule with your workouts.
Any new form of exercise will cause a little soreness or stiffness. It is best to start without pushing yourself. Curiously, many people find they can perform a hard workout the first time they try. However, if you push yourself to your limits before you have muscle tone and endurance, you are likely to become very sore in the next few days or week.
Instead, if you start without pushing yourself, you can gradually increase the intensity of your workout every day. When you reach a point where your strength and endurance are being tested, then the increases in amount of weight or duration of exercise are less frequent.
Congratulations! You have started developing a routine without becoming extremely sore or injured. You are on your way to losing weight, gaining muscle, and looking great.
