At Prestige Fitness Malta, we also know that people are torn between using cardio equipment and weight training. No matter the objective, whether it is weight loss, muscle gain, or general body fitness, both cardio and weights are vital. The question many people often ask is: How can the two be well incorporated into daily physical training to enhance the outcome?

Let’s break it down.

Cardio and strength training are unique forms of exercise. Cardio and strength training support the heart muscles, increase the ability of the heart to pump more blood and oxygen to the body tissue, and can have the added benefit of using up extra calories. If you want to reduce your body’s fat and, at the same time, build your overall stamina, then this is for you! Weight or resistance training helps you build muscle mass, build up your bones, and even boost your metabolic rate. Muscles also require energy to be maintained, and the more the muscles, the higher the number of calories the body will burn to fuel the muscles even when you are not exercising.

The debate of whether to do cardio or weight training first often comes down to personal goals. Starting with cardio might seem logical if you’re primarily looking to lose fat or improve your cardiovascular health. However, research suggests that cardio after weight training may maximize your results, especially if building muscle or increasing strength is a priority. Weight training requires more focus and energy to perform correctly, and doing it first ensures that you don’t tire yourself out during cardio.

But what is more important – those who would like to exercise both muscle groups during a single training session. At Prestige Fitness Malta, we provide unique nursery cardio and weight training that amalgamate the advantages of both. For example, you would do a circuit exercise where you alternate between a strength move, for example, squats or deadlifts, and a cardiovascular exercise for maybe 30 seconds, for example, jump rope or sprint. This plan is instrumental in maintaining an optimum heart rate, so that you will be losing calories as well as building the muscles.

If you want a very sharp separation between the two then days could be solely devoted to cardio and others to strength training. This process is called a split routine, which means that the higher muscles have time to recover after strength training, but your heart will still be in sound physical condition.

As you can see, it doesn’t matter what your body type is; the idea is that you must be constant. The more frequently you integrate cardio and weight training, the faster you will be able to see the outcome. Prestige Fitness Malta’s efficient trainers devise and personalize your goal, preference, and workout capacity. You can either lose pounds, build muscles, or simply come in for a quick start. Our programs put you on the right track to achieve your goals at a faster rate than you would normally.
