In my last few articles, I’ve focused heavily on cardio and its benefits. But does strength training trump cardio?
In almost every gym you’ll see lots of people working hard on treadmills and elliptical machines, getting sweaty in group exercise classes, or doing some other form of cardio workout.
This is good news because cardiovascular fitness is directly linked to cardiovascular health, so if you want to live a long, happy and productive life you need to do your cardio.
However, as important as cardio is, the entire exercising population would do well to pause for a breath and venture over to the “dark side” to pump some iron.
