Strength Training vs. Cardio: Which is Better?

What's the difference between strength training and cardio?

Strength training focuses on building muscle and strength, while cardio improves cardiovascular fitness and endurance.

Which one should I prioritize for weight loss?

Both are important! Cardio burns calories, while strength training builds muscle, which can boost your metabolism.

How often should I do each type of workout?

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate cardio per week and 2-3 strength training sessions for optimal results.

Can I combine both in a single workout?

Absolutely! Many people do circuit training, which incorporates both strength and cardio for a balanced workout.
