Resistance training should be performed 2-3 times per week, or as recommended by your trainer. Allow at least one day of rest between resistance training days. It also burns calories and body fat, reduces stress and improves overall health and well-being. A well-conditioned heart is stronger and more efficient. We recommend including three cardio workouts per week for 20-30 minutes each time.
Cardiovascular exercise uses body fat and carbohydrates for energy.
Your body uses a significant amount of energy because cardio work is done for a longer period of time. Your fitness trainer will help you calculate your target heart rate range. One pound of fat burns approximately eight calories daily and stores 3,500 calories of energy. The two keys to changing body composition are performing activities that cause your body to use its stored fat and strengthening muscles to become better fat burners. This can be accomplished through a healthy diet, resistance training and cardiovascular workouts.
