Most people start fitness exercises in order to strengthen their physique, improve obesity, improve body proportion, and meet a better and better version of themselves.

However, the effect of different fitness content exercise is not the same, strength training can exercise muscles, and aerobic exercise can consume fat, the combination of the two can play the purpose of muscle reduction.

So, when working out, do you start with strength training or cardio? It’s a question many people have. And Xiaobian can tell you very clearly, first strength after aerobic, which is why? The specific reasons are as follows:

1, at the beginning of fitness, the body will first consume the body’s reserves of glycogen, and the amount of fat involved is very small. Exercise for about 20 minutes, the body’s glycogen is almost consumed, and the amount of fat involved will increase to the maximum. Therefore, doing strength training first can help you consume glycogen in the body, so that when performing aerobic exercise, the body can mobilize more fat to participate in consumption and improve fat burning efficiency.

2, at the beginning of fitness, our physical strength is the most abundant, this time to do strength training performance will be better, can play a greater weight, and more concentrated, not easy to get injured, can reduce the situation of muscle strain, to achieve better exercise results.

So, how to scientifically arrange strength training when working out? If you are a fitness novice, do not carry out heavy weight training at the beginning, you can start from the self-weight compound training, choose squat, lunge squat, push ups, goat lift, plank support these actions are enough to train, at home can open the exercise, do not need to go to the gym, exercise time is more flexible and convenient. Each action for 4-5 groups, each group of about 15 times can effectively activate the body muscle group, gradually improve muscle strength, gradually improve the basic metabolic value. Strength training after a period of time, you can carry out weight training, buy a pair of 3-5KG dumbbells for training, which can enhance the difficulty of training, give the muscles greater stimulation, so as to further enhance the muscle dimension, shape a better body line.
