subject: Combine Weights And Exercise And Burn Fat [print this page] The types of exercise that I feel are the most effective to burn fat at the gym are combining cardio exercises with weight lifting.
I am looking great and my lean body mass that I am building is really showing, all thanks to burning fat and building muscle at the same time.
Many people wonder whether they should do cardio before or after lifting weights at the gym. Let's take a quick look at the benefits of each approach, and then I'll offer my insight as to what I believe works best.
As for doing cardio after lifting weights, here are some quick reasons that people like this approach. First of all, it allows them to call it a day when their body is feeling the most vulnerable.
Now, lifting weights is surely going to take some of your energy, but you are going to feel a lot more drained when you do an activity like running. And, weight lifting does burn calories, but running most definitely uses more energy overall.
For this reason, many people like to lift weights first before running at the end of the workout. This also allows them to lift while exerting as much strength as possible.
On the other side of things, exercising first before strength training has its advantages too. They say that doing this gets your heart rate going for the entire workout, which ends up challenging the body more and helping you to burn even more calories while you lift. This is certainly a strategy to consider if your body's up for the challenge.
I really like to do a combination of the two, where the tolerance is definitely needed for a challenge. While lifting weights, every so often you should get short bursts of running in. That way, you are going to get the best results.
