What is your fitness level? Fitness is not only about building muscles by working out in the gym or walking or running on treadmill, ground, or doing yoga. Fitness is more than this. Fitness is growth in daily functional strength and energy. It is the ability to perform daily activities with energy and alertness and without fatigue. Cardiovascular Endurance Cardiovascular Endurance is the capacity of the heart to provide oxygen and nutrients to all the muscles through blood supply for a long period of time. Cardio means heart and Vascular means blood vessels. Muscular Endurance Muscular Endurance is a working or contraction ability of our muscles for a long period of time in low intensity.

To improve Muscular Endurance, we need to do aerobic activity.

CARDIO OR WEIGHT TRAINING FOR FAT LOSS?

What actually cardio do? Cardio shrinks you down. It not only shrink your fat but also your muscles. Yes, only high intense cardio can shrink your muscles.

But in reality, giving a maximum range of motion and putting a sufficient tension on muscle help to build muscle optimally. You can either use free weight or machine weight to apply tension on muscle. What’s most important is to create optimal tension on target muscle that cause the muscle hypertrophy (muscle growth).

Keep in mind two important factors while selecting your exercise, Does your selected exercise gives a maximum range of motion? Range of Motion Range of motion is the measurement of muscle movement.
