There has always been a debate for decades over whether cardio
training or strength training is better for you. The reality is you need
both. Your body will not depend on just a single branch of exercise to
work. Cardio and strength workouts come with their own set of benefits,
and each supports the other and enhances your overall fitness
performance. It is suggested that adults perform at least 30 minutes of
aerobic activity daily, and engage in strength training at least twice
per week. These recommendations from the American Heart Association
suffice for 30 minutes per day, or 150 minutes per week, of physical
related activity which can be easy as going for a run around the block
and hitting the gym with some weights.
