Weight training versus cardiovascular training:

This has been topic of hot debate over last many years.

The overall impression is that cardiovascular training is ultimate for weight loss or fat loss. Due to this misconception and misunderstanding about weight training, a high percentage of population is deprived of weight training benefits.

Another misunderstanding about weight training is that it should not be done by ladies, if they do their bodies will immediately or ultimately become muscular. Therefore the popular scenario in most of the gym is that the cardio section is full with ladies and middle aged gents.

However, the fact is that the weight training exercises are best for weight loss and fat loss. Wight training Exercise not only reduces calories but they help in increasing a person’s metabolism. Which is most essential for fat loss as well as weight loss.

As far as the young boys among whom weight training is favorite, they fall into two categories. The first category is that of young persons who have never gone to a gym and are shy of going to a gym or unaware of weight training exercises. Whenever they join a gym they are taught exercises by the gym trainers for first few days and later on left on their own due to Lack of time with the trainer as there are many members Due to lack of knowledge beyond basic. Or they are more interested in providing personal training which many cannot simply afford.

The other category is that of people who are seasoned weight training exercisers doing it for some time. Those people are stuck up as they are not making progress beyond a certain point. They simply do not know from whom to seek information as the trainers in their gym themselves may not have adequate knowledge. In fact many trainers are not qualified.

If this category tries to seek information from internet, Then it may not be reliable. There may be conflicting views by different persons. The information on internet is flooded with technical jargons giving technical names of muscles etc. with which the common man is not conversant.

The fact proved by studies and research has shown that weight training is safe and most benefacial for people of all ages irrespective of their age and gender if done properly.

Cardiovascular exercise are simpler to execute  than weight training exercises. Once or twice a person runs a machine and he can master or the art of doing it. Is cardio more popular due to this factor !

Then the age old principle comes into playing – ‘No pain no gain’.

Weight training really scores over cardio on this ground.
