Cardio vs Weights
Holly Rigsby (who is in the middle of her FYM Transformation launch) wants to know…, which do you prefer… Cardio or Weights? Well, it turns out that the majority of women polled on popular online fitness websites choose… Cardio!
But why the preference for Cardio if the body shaping, toning and firming results are not achieved? There are 4 answers…
1. It is EASY
After all, how much effort and thought does it take to get on a treadmill for 30 – 60 minutes? You can even chat with friends, read a magazine or even watch TV.
2. Immediate Feedback
For “traditional” cardio machines, do you hop on the treadmill with the goal of burning “X” amount of calories? It is comforting to “see” you are making progress; however, this is misleading feedback.
Fat loss is about how many calories your body burns 24-7, not how many calories you burn per workout. Dieters get caught up in thinking the more calories burned, the better (or faster) results achieved.
But remember… a higher metabolism means more fat loss.
So Cardio is NOT the direction you want to go in.
Cardio does nothing to increase your metabolism for the next 24 hours – in fact your metabolism returns to normal shortly after you finish.
Plus, if your goal is to burn as many calories as possible, it is likely you are spending a tremendous amount of time “doing” cardio – once you are good at going past 30 minutes, you are in the DANGER zone when it comes to preserving your lean muscle.
You see, the longer you “do” cardio, the more your body dips into the protein in your muscle to give you the energy to keep going.
This is one of the reasons why many women increase the amount of time spent “doing” cardio – for with a slower metabolism, results stall, leading to thoughts of having to exercise more to keep get back to seeing results!
Can you see that this is a dead end road?
3. Fear of Weights
The top two comments in regards to weights….
“I don’t want to bulk up” and “It’s just too complicated”
Well, as many of you already know from following Holly and what she writes – women just cannot get big from lifting weights. It is a hormone thing that limits women to simply increasing strength, tone, and firmness when it comes to muscle gains.
As the Fit Yummy Mummy has said before: Strength training does not have to be complicated, boring or feel unproductive.
First of all, the women who are stating that they do not feel productive after a resistance training workout are really missing some key factors.
Adding muscle to your body has a HOST of fat burning, skinny jean-wearing and health benefits. When you follow a short burst resistance training plan, there is nothing more invigorating, satisfying or leaves you feeling confidently accomplished – seasoned Fit Yummy Mummies would agree.
Second, if resistance training appears to be too complicated, then it is time to switch up your plan.
The Fit Yummy Mummy design simplifies your workout so you are finished in a mere 15 minutes – not a whole lot of complicated moves in this style of workout. Plus it is FUN to move your body and see the increase in strength in Everyday Life, not just during your workout!
4. “But Cardio worked… when I was younger…”
True, it did… and for thousands of women too who used to be able to jump on a treadmill for 20-30-60 minutes a couple times a week and Wa-Lah! Instant results!
And many of the enthusiastic pro-cardio comments made may very well be from women in their early 20′s. Human nature leads us to stick with what we know because it is easy.
However, as your body adapts and as time passes – creating a host or hormonal changes as well – the same routine just will not cut it like it used to.
That comment above…? Here’s another: “I love the feeling when doing cardio, strength training is just hard work.”
I have to break it to you… Easy does not get results.
Fact is… not one of the FYM Success Stories would describe the Fit Yummy Mummy workout plan as “easy” – there is effort that must be put into your workout to keep it challenging but the way the workouts are designed allow you to easily COMPLETE and FIT them into your day.
There is just NO getting around the amazing, transforming, life changing benefits of resistance training.
Of course, those who follow a well-rounded and balanced fitness plan know cardio does play a role but also understand that cardio alone is not the end-all, be-all answer to true fit fat loss results.
+ Are you convinced that Cardio is NOT the end-all be-all answer?
+ Ready to make the switch to short burst, strength training, 15-minute workouts?
+ Prefer to follow along workout Videos?
