The Difference between Cardio and Resistance Exercises

Nov,22,2023
11K

Confused about choosing your type of exercise? Still can’t decide between cardio or resistance training? In this article, We’ll help you choose the right exercises for you. We will explain the most important points of difference between the two types of exercise. So take the confusion out of your mind. Follow us.

Cardio or resistance?

We talked at length in previous articles, my dear, about cardio and resistance exercises. But in this article, We’ll talk about comparing them. And how can we choose the appropriate exercises.

A quick reminder before we dive into the details:

Resistance exercises: These are exercises designed to build strength and stimulate muscle growth through the use of increased resistance. Like lifting weights or using resistance bands. Cardio: Any exercise that increases your heart rate significantly. Examples include running, rowing or swimming.

Examples include running, rowing or swimming.

Resistance exercises: Resistance exercises allow you to work muscle groups all over your body. most importantly your core and back muscles, Helping you to better support your body weight and maintain a good figure, Which results in stronger muscles. Cardio exercises: Cardio exercises such as running help you to strengthen the muscles of the legs and increase speed and fitness levels. allowing you to exercise more vigorously, And burn more calories.

2. In terms of calories burned:

Resistance training: average calorie burn, It may increase with exercise intensity. Cardio exercises: a high calorie burning rate, Paying attention to burning muscle mass, not just fat.

So my dear, If your goal is to lose weight quickly, An intense cardio workout would be best for you. But you must remember the necessity of doing resistance exercises to maintain good muscle mass and a taut body, The topic is integrated and you cannot rely on one type of them.

3. In terms of avoiding injuries:

Resistance exercises: Resistance exercises help you train your brain on how to deal with muscle contractions that are fast enough to prevent or reduce injuries. If you choose exercises that improve your balance and force you to bend at multiple joints, You are actually protecting your own body, my dear. Cardio exercises: Regular cardio exercises can help keep your body in shape and perform at its best. However, my dear, The repetitive nature of doing cardio alone (without combining it with resistance training) can put serious stress on your joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. It may lead to infection.

In conclusion, And to make things easier for you, If you want to lose weight, Cardio exercises will burn a lot of calories. But be careful, my dear, of the idea that cardio does not help you build your muscles. It can even cause a decline in muscle growth.

As for building muscle, You should do resistance exercises, which will help you in the long run to burn calories.

And therefore, The best solution is a smart combination of cardio and resistance training. It will help you, my dear, to burn calories. And at the same time it will build muscle, leading to a harmonious body, consistent and taut, This is what everyone desires.
