When it comes to exercise, I find that many people tend to neglect either cardio or strength training as part of their workout. Their seems to be an ongoing trend of people that like to get a good cardio workout on a daily basis but fail to include strength training as part of their weekly routine. In addition, there also is a large number of people who "hit the weights" on a daily basis, who seem to forget that cardio is a key component of their workout. My point is that there needs to be a balance in everyone's exercise routine that includes both cardio and strength training as part of their trip to the gym. In other words, DO NOT FORGET TO DO BOTH CARDIO AND WEIGHT TRAINING.
There are many reasons why both of these ways of exercising are highly important. You can read about the benefits of cardio and benefits of strength training by clicking on their links.
One way to acheive both strength training and cardio results is with a type of circuit training. Circuit training is weight lifting with little to no rest in between workouts, which will also give you a good deal of cardio training. An example of a good circuit workout that you can do either at home or at a gym can be seen in this video:
By incorporating both cardio and strength training into your exercise routine, you can become much healthier overall, and improve your cardiovascular endurance and overall strength. It is suggested that you do cardio five times a week for 30-60 minutes each day. For strength training, it is recommended that you exercise at least 3 -4 times per week with a day or rest for the muscles you worked on. Below I have included a BMI (Body-Mass Index) Chart that can give you a basic overview of where you are at physically.
