essential whether you want to focus on toning or building
muscle mass.

To efficiently lose body fat one must incorporate resistance training.
There must be a mixture of cardiovascular training with weight resistance.
The more lean muscle mass one has the more body fat they will be able
to lose. With increased muscle mass the faster the body's metabolism
works. If you have ever looked in an aerobics class you just might
see the same people always looking the same, ( there are those exceptions)
but most of the time the ones you see making the greatest changes
to their bodies are the ones who mix Cardio and Weight resistance
training.
Very few types of workouts will work everything that the body
needs to make the desired changes. Cardio will strengthen the
heart and increase the efficiency of oxygen use, leading to
higher levels of endurance. However, if that is all you do it
will be hard to increase muscle mass. The same is true in the
reverse, if all one does is resistance training they will not
be hitting the cardiovascular and endurance sides. True one
can circuit train but they will not have the same benefits of
doing a full Cardio and muscle mass building program. It is
to such an advantage to train one day resistance and on the
opposite day train Cardio.
It is also strategically important to incorporate proper nutrition
for your specific desires and outcomes. I do not like to use the term
diet do to the negative connotations that society has put upon that
term. I like to use nutrition, it is much more appropriate and positive.
When following your progress you should not just go by the scale.
Your weight might go up, but that does not mean anything bad. It probably
means that your muscle mass has increased and the fat is not moving
as quick as the muscle. One should use a scale, mirror, pictures,
the way your close fit and a body fat analysis to truly see where
you are in regards to where you started.
A workout program is all about consistency. It has to become a life
choice and a way of life. There is a lot of discipline and dedication
involved. It is important to make small, achievable goals that can
be reached. This is the key to being successful in making the changes
that you want, weather it is for health reasons, to look better, or
to enter competitions. What ever your goal is this formula should
be applied for the best results.
