The big question. <i>Cardio or weight training?</i></h2>
<h2 style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 85 Heavy', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></h2>
<h2 style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 85 Heavy', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<i></i>Here’s what you need to know about the fat-burning effects of cardio and weight training.</h2>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
Nowadays when we get all kind of stupid diet things (chocolate diet etc.) it’s hard to believe that exercise professionals could consider any activity or form of exercise useless.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
There are some people who believe lower intensity cardio is directly causing weight gain problems. Like long distance running.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
This is what happens when weight loss frustration sets in and people are looking for a reason to explain why the scale goes the wrong direction despite plenty of effort.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
After all, it becomes easier to understand if you slog away day after day doing cardio and don’t see changes. Naturally, something must be wrong. But that usually that has more to do with why your cardio approach isn't working, than anything “wrong” with cardio.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
Running is not the reason you gain weight. But if you wanna see your body the fastest way changing, it’s not necessarily the most efficient approach.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
Cardio has many benefits, including many related to weight loss, but also supports your ATP production, what is necessary for energy, helps in recovery, and even can help you relax and sleep better.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
But if you’re trying to find the fastest way to dropping a little extra weight putting weight training into first place would be great.</div>
<h2 style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 85 Heavy', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></h2>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
Just for to make it clear again, <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">cardio is not bad</em>. It just doesn’t burn fat quickly. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
In an ideal world, you’d combine metabolic and high intensity workouts (think moderate-to-heavy weights combined with short rest periods) with longer, slower, less intense struggles of cardiovascular activity.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
The short struggles of training would definitely increase your heart rate, increase metabolic activity, and crush fat cells. The slower cardio would help with recovery and make sure you don’t walk around exhausted, but would also improve your heart efficiency.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
Think about it, when you train you become exhausted. Most of the time you only think about how tired your muscles feel, and that’s part of the equation. The other part is your heart just not being able to push harder.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
When you perform slower, longer cardio, you actually are able to force more blood into your heart and expand the walls. This renovation means your heart can pump more blood and oxygen with each beat, making you much more efficient.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
Rather than becoming gassed as you push harder, you can do a better job of fighting off fatigue and maintaining a higher intensity.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
While it is easy to see why it’s ideal to perform both a mix of lower intensity cardio and weight training, the reality is most people are pressed for time and impatient. You want results as fast as possible with the least amount of work needed.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
That’s why if you had to choose between weights and cardio, weights would be the more direct approach.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
The majority of calories you burn in a day are not through activity, but instead through your resting metabolic rate (RMR).<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Weight training is better at preserving your RMR by preserving lean body mass (LBM), which is a significant contributor to RMR, or the calories you burn in a 24-hour period.</em><br />
<em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></em></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Avenir LT W01 45 Book', sans-serif; padding: 0px;">
Strength training allows you to maintain a better muscle-to-fat ratio, which not only helps with the way you process food, but also ensures that the amount of calories you burn outside the gym are enough to support all the hard work you dedicate inside the gym.</div>

This breakfast totally<b> fits a low carb diet</b>!<br />
As it contains loads of protein and only fruits, which is <b>natural source of carbs</b> and sugar and our body needs them!<br />
It tastes delicious and also fills you up!<br />
<br />
There is only Greek yoghurt and coconut milk mixed with some Casein Whey Powder (chocolate flavour), a bit of lemon, strawberry and some nuts.<br />
I prefer using Casein Protein Powder as it gets really creamy and tastes like a desert!<br />
If you eating this as a pre-workout meal, you can add some banana, just to get the power for your workout!<br />
<br />
<u>A bowl contains:</u> (about 300 kcal)<br />
- 4 table spoon of 0% fat Greek yoghurt<br />
- 100 ml of coconut milk<br />
- 1 scoop of casein protein powder (or any whey powder)<br />
- few drops of lemon juice<br />
- 6-8 medium strawberries<br />
- some nuts (keshu, walnut etc)<br />
<br />
<br />
Enjoy! :)<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGl-JizfzxiNpH2FIU2YSsH6l8Lh4ip-nvZXuQsfceJwLqpLlz-tZdTk3WOFbR0K7V9CJAzwx2eZ494ddY6yxeAE58FzFSiHe1FQlOfT6Fn149FwiNt2ZGR7kj32x6PXc1OJ1ureVovY/s1600/labemeles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGl-JizfzxiNpH2FIU2YSsH6l8Lh4ip-nvZXuQsfceJwLqpLlz-tZdTk3WOFbR0K7V9CJAzwx2eZ494ddY6yxeAE58FzFSiHe1FQlOfT6Fn149FwiNt2ZGR7kj32x6PXc1OJ1ureVovY/s1600/labemeles.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
This is one of my favourite exercises when I am having a leg day. This will make your glutes really nice and curvy!!!<br />
<br />
<b>This tri-set consist of:</b><br />
<b>-leg kick with straight leg</b><br />
<b>-leg kick with bended knee </b><br />
<b>- leg side raise</b><br />
<br />
The 2 leg kicks will hit your bottom and top part of your glutes muscle and your hamtsring as well.<br />
The side raise will hit your outside part of your glutes.<br />
You can perform this exercise on the floor but if you wanna challenge yourself a bit, then do it on a bench, forcing the core and arm muscles to do some work as we have to maintain the balance more.<br />
If you are a gym experienced person you might need to use some resistance, so an ankle weight would be perfect for that. (You can find adjustable ankle weights, making sure that we can always increase the resistance).<br />
Make sure you are always having a nice and neutral back!!! <br />
<br />
<b>Do from all the 3 exercises 10 reps. So each set will consist of 30 reps/ leg. Repeat this 3 times.</b><br />
<br />
<b>If you keep doing this exercise at least twice a week you will have nice glutes!</b><br />
