#57: Cardio with Weights vs. Strength Training Why they are NOT the same!
Manage episode 405942155 series 3449217
One of the biggest mistakes I made with my fitness in my 30s and 40s was believing that my gym's classes with weights would take care of my muscles.
Boy was I wrong!
When menopause hit, I lost ALL my muscle tone and started just looking 'blobby' - and it seemed to happen overnight!
If only I'd realized that not all workouts with weights are created equal.
In this episode of the podcast, I explain the three fundamental differences between what I've termed 'cardio with weights' and the kind of strength training that will not only maintain your lean muscle mass but allow you to increase it.
Those differences are:
1️⃣ How challenging the weights are
2️⃣ Ability to apply progressive overload
3️⃣ Ability to recover between sets
Enjoy the episode!
