💥CARDIO VS. WEIGHTS. VS. SITTING ON COUCH EATING CHIPS💥 - - - Follow @delishketodiet_ for 🔑 fitness and nutrition tips - - - Ah, the age old debate, which to do: cardio or sit on the couch and eat chips? - If I had to choose, I would pick weight training every time. - In all honesty, you can achieve many of the benefits of traditional cardio with weight training. - Want to get your heart rate up and condition your heart and lungs? Do circuit training or include a metabolic finisher. Oh, weight training has the additional benefit of building muscle, which cardio cannot do. - The 2 instances in which cardio become a must-do are: - 1. You’re training for a race. - 2. You enjoy it. - Otherwise, it’s totally optional. - The caveat here is if what you enjoy (cardio), doesn’t fully help you achieve your goals (muscle tone, weight loss, strength, energy). *Just* doing what you enjoy is not the answer. As far as the “just do what you enjoy” argument, I’m going to call horse…poo. - Don’t do what you enjoy. Sprinkle what you enjoy in with what you NEED to achieve your goals. - Most of my clients don’t love weight training, but they do it because they know it’s the way to achieve the body they want. - That’s discipline, folks. Make sense? - And while you’re on that path to earning your best body, for Pete’s sake sit on the couch and eat some chips every once in awhile…please. - - - #cardio #hiit #hiitcardio #weights #weighttraining #resistancetraining #strengthtraining #strong #strength #lifting #weightlifting #liftingweights #gymtips #gym #workout #workouttips #muscle #musclegain #fatloss #weightloss (at Two Rock, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQ5r5hA8EL/?igshid=15k73n1p1wkbp
