| Hey Friend,
There are no shortage of debates arguing back and forth over the benefits of Cardio vs. Weights for building a lean ripped body.
And there is no "One Size Fits All" answer...
How you go about it really depends on YOU.
...your goals ...your body type
...your fitness level ...your schedule Etc...
What works for one person may or may not work for you. But there are some general training strategies that work pretty well for "most guys".
Friend if you want to build muscle AND lose bodyfat AND you have a busy
schedule...
Then this is what I recommend (and what I do personally)...
Alternate Doing Cardio One Day & Weight Training The Next Day.
By only doing one form of exercise per workout (i.e. cardio or weights) you'll keep your workouts shorter, 1 hour tops.
This strategy works with your body's natural recovery because during the weight training days you are placing a lot of stress on the muscles and central nervous system.
The whole purpose of weight training is to break down your body in order to give it a reason to grow back bigger and stronger.
Then during the cardio days you are providing a gentle form of exercise that's easier on your muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
Regular cardio will circulate blood flow throughout your muscles and provide them with an "Active Recovery" workout. While improving your aerobic fitness and burning off that stubborn bodyfat in the process.
Alternating back and forth between weight training and cardio training like this will allow you to reap the physical and mental benefits of daily exercise, while still getting adequate rest and recovery for muscle growth.
I like to refer to it as YIN and YANG training where you get the best of both worlds with your workout program.
