For beginners out there. I'm talking about real beginner's, no experience in cardio or weight training. My best advice is to not follow any advice. Test your own body out, test your form of cardio, each person responds differently than others. Test different exercises and see which ones work and get you the best results, drop the ones that don't and keep the ones that do. Only thing you should always do is keep the form of any exercise you do, that's universal. Good luck to you new beginner's out there.

Strength-training has been shown to improve psychological health as well, by increasing self-esteem, confidence and self-worth.

morale of this story: do both

I have abs A= A B= big S= stomach

I've been running on and off nine years. And since November 2017 running now three years straight five miles on the treadmill for one hour non-stop. I stopped losing weight after my 2018 year of just running and nothing but running. Then on June 10th, 2019. I stepped out my comfort zone, and started lifting weights at the gym along with still my cardio running workout everyday. I gotta say, ever since I started lifting weights, the fat has come right off me at 4x the rate of just running alone. I was 335lb in November 2017, with a health scare of high liver enzymes by my blood test results from my primary health doctor. Now I'm 264lb pounds. And liver enzymes are perfect. I'm not going to die. The next step was fatty liver then liver failure. And no I don't drink any alcohol at all. It's amazing when you take care of your body. How it takes care of you and rewards you back with feeling great everyday.

I started working out 3 weeks ago. Cardio thrice a week, same with strength training. Obviously no visible results yet, but I feel so great and I have been able to switch from 2kg weights to 5kg ones. It ain't much, but those 5kg dumbells were IMPOSSIBLE at the beginning

I just love my abs so much that I protect them with an extra thick layer of fat.

I do 30 minutes of weight training followed by 30 minutes of running, 5 days a week and it works for me.

I do both..and now my weight is quite hard to increase..then i can feel my fat is getting lose and my muscle getting bigger...

I used to think exercise was just exercise, and by that you could achieve anything. But this video makes me understand how to get my fitness back the correct way

Thanks for the concise info on this topic! The bite-size length made the decision of whether to watch it now or "maybe later" (= possibly never) very easy, and it's clear enough on what to do.

Tip for beginners like me: Pick a cardio workout you can see yourself doing multiple times a week and won't burn out on quickly. Moving at all is better than not moving, and eat your protein or you won't have the energy to keep up with it.

I can’t do strength training without being super anxious about it. All these gyms always promote the “no judgment zone” but no matter where I go I never feel comfortable. I just wish I could do things without thinking about how I look. Anxiety is so hard.

I been doing cardio for months now by walking 5 days a week and working housekeeping. Now, I'm going to start strength training too. I lost 40-45 pounds already.

Short video with clear articulation of what are all cardio and muscle strengthening exercises benifits. This is one of the video I came across. These kinds of video need to watch before getting rigorous gym workout. Thanks for the video. It cleared my doubts which I had from long back.

I'm a serious runner (marathons & half marathons) who switched from bodybuilding (I was a 95kg bodybuilder in college and did zero cardio like most bodybuilders). So I have about 10 years of bodybuilding, followed by about 10 years of pure cardio. Here is what I will say. Running/cardio will lead to high endurance and being shredded. Though you always look somewhat skinny-fat because that is the body optimised for running (some fat reserves. It's not good to be without fat as a runner/cardio athlete). So the fact is I simply looked more masculine & better as a bodybuilder. However as a runner I feel lighter and more fit, I could not run up a flight of stairs before and was always out of breath (due to heavy muscles), now I can. But truth absolutely be told, I will say that I feel the bodybuilding lifestyle & training (I'm not talking about PED users of course) is superior to being a runner. I felt more jacked, powerful, and had less injuries and problems being a bodybuilder than being a runner. I run with perfect form and am lean like a skeleton, but I feel I am impacting my joints and bones, I often have pain from running though I am careful and stretch well after runs. I also don't think my heart is healthier than before, it's more endurant but also more used. You might ask why I am not going back to bodybuilding? Because frankly I'm now addicted to being a runner. It's hard to go back.

Thank you for this clear information. 😊 Now, I can make my workout plan routine.

Currently I am doing both everyday, a combination of bench press and curls along with weighted squats and lots of ab exercises, then I run for 20 mins, definitely seeing results

Don't forget that walking is also great cardio! A walk a day goes a long way!

That was such a nice video. I didn’t how to exercise correctly.Thank you!

Sprinting/Sprint Cycling and punching the punching bag are my favorite forms of cardio

This is a great video. A balance between cardio and weights. Makes perfect sense.

The best form of exercise is the one you enjoy.

Thank you so much I like how you just did a short video and explained thigs nice and simple. Also thank you for making me way less confused!

Loved this video and I'm glad I came across it today helped a lot my life is slowly improving one day at a time ❤

I never liked doing any form of sports for a long time. The reason was, because my cardio fitness level was really really low. At one point I discovered weight training and enjoyed it super much, that I actually build a decent amount of muscle, but still didn’t have any form of cardio fitness. I thought that maybe it’s just not for me. It took a while for me to understand, that I have to specifically train to get better at cardio, just as it is the case with strength training. My number one advice for starting as a complete beginner with cardio: Don’t start with running! Running is great because you can do it anywhere and with no equipment. But it’s arguably the hardest form of cardio, because it’s difficult to control your speed and because hitting the ground every time, can be quite tiring for your muscles. If you can then rather start riding a bike at a high intensity a few times a week, so that you build up your fitness level and because it might even be more fun. If you start running after you did that, it will be ever so much easier. Now, I’ve been doing running, swimming and cycling for quite a while and I can absolutely confirm, that I notice it so much in my day to day life.

Very informative video, straight to the point.

I recently started training with Kettlebells , it's so much fun. And can get benefit of both strength training and cardio !!

What an awesome video. Full of information regarding health. Great job.

Simply wonderful, please want more

I love the video. It's simple and explain many things.

I love that this was promoted over the popular fitness influencers, good job KZfaq!!

I do both cardio and strength training. First I do 45 minutes of strength training and then one hour of cardio, it has worked for me.

I figured out that doing cardio prevents me from getting depressed, if I go one day without it bad thoughts start creeping up through my mind.

Very awesome workout. I enjoyed it alot. Thanks for sharing. This makes my day more productive. Great job

Thank you so much sir for giving us these valuable information.

Short and very informative.

I like doing a little of both helps me clear my mind.

Thanks for this!❤

Please include walking as a cardio options, more than often for beginners, it is the most sustainable workout with least activation / motivation required.

Thank you!

Gratefulness is the secret to happiness. Once we all realize how incredibly lucky we are to even be alive on this planet and stop comparing ourselves to others, true happiness will find us. The one thing that helped me so much to become more grateful was Forwago.

I would say do a mix of both. Alternate every other day and make sure you are also getting in your rest days as well.

That was so sweet thanks for the update

Walking works out I s so much more I love it thank you

Thank youu for this!!

I do both, to keep it interesting and your body guessing

didn't expect to see the last bit of "lower your cancer risk" until i saw the name of the channel

it helps a lot, thank you!

If you are over 30 and you have never done any strength training now it's time to start.

I am eating super healty for a month,With some basic home training push up,jumping jacks, all the basic things i do go on a bicle once in a while and lost around 9 kilo. i weighted 107 im at 97.4 since today, I also feel so much better in my body my aim is to reach around 92-93 kilos before the end of the year. And after that il have another goal. Sorry if my english sucks.

hardest step number one: Have the courage

so concise and useful! thank you

Diet: Don't drink pop or eat junk/fast food eat your fruits and veggies

Basically a bit of both 💯

Try packing a punch with all strength with no cardio. That just shows that you also need cardio

Thank you very much

Very nice video and info. Keep it up !

Cardio is to benefit your heart and mind. Weight lifting is for the aesthetics. Exercise is something that for the unaffiliated seems nearly impossible. For those who engage in it regularly, one cannot imagine living without it.

I believe the best way is to find the balance between the two :)

Nice content. Apart from this music sync was awesome. 🎵

I start with cardio to get my finess.

Well after getting my cholesterol and triglycerides results as quite high I started first doing cardio mainly 3-4 time a week 30-50 min. After few months the cholesterol and triglycerides got much better, still a bit high but significantly improved. After that test I ended up doing more weight training and hardly cardio. My last test triglycerides went up again. All the time I've been eating healthy, no alcohol, no sugars, etc.. I'm not overweight. I still went to dietician to check if I'm doing something wrong. So it's definitely not because of my diet. Going back to more cardio again with a bit of weight training. Fingers crossed!

I love short and sweet video

Cardio vs. Strength B. S. We need both !

after daily exercise listening music with drinking black tea is one of the best thing to do 😌

I do 2 ½ hours of cardio per week and... I just checked and wow, I do the same amount of strength training per week too haha! Could do more, but my schedule doesn't work out right now 😒 😕 😫

I try to incorporate strength training with cardio. E.g. Burpees. You get to work your arms, legs, and cardio. If im climbing stairs I would make myself carry kettlebells. Get to work on your arms and at the same time, train your cardio too.

Great information to create a plan routine.

I’ve tried doing hiit workouts and they are amazing they really are good for people trying to lose weight

Great video!

I do both (mostly strength training), but my question is which one to do first? Is it better to do cardio or strength training first? Or no difference?

Excited Good for you

Just started cycling 4 month ago. It makes me exhausted whole day. I slept poor. Breathless. i dont know what happen. Untill i do some weight training weeks ago, i feel like a healthy person again with a lot of anergy. I dont feel tired after long ride. My english good enough?💆

Thanks I almost cried🥺🥺

Cardio is for internal organs building Weight training is for bones joints & external muscles building Do both

I love the music

It is okay Monday-Tuesday cardio and then Wednesday rest and Thursday-saturday strength workout.

At first i was doing strength training and no cardio. I was not losing much fat. Since i started doing cardio for 50 mins after my strength training session i am losing alot of fat. I am sure cardio is very important for burning alot of calories

I mix cardio and strength. For morning i do morning cardio workout, then i go with my bike for 30m-1h Then at afternoon i do strength training. ( Cardio day)

I did running for one hour daily I getted fit in a month

What about doing circuit training workouts thanks

i do no cardio anymore, just follow a good weight training program watch what i eat and take plenty of rest days , works for me.

I do both and plus Yoga...and meditation too ..with a strict diet...yes I love my Body

I’ll say do one or the other. Strength training is aim to get lean or bulk either cutting fat putting on muscle or just putting on mass. Cardio just weight loss including fat loss and muscle loss. So whatever your goal is pick one and stick with it. If you still want to do both do one more than the other.

many of us sometimes do not have time to devote to the exercises and I used a keto diet and it brought me excellent results I lost 37 pounds in a month now I feel super better ..!

I just started working out and eating more. I'm a skinny guy so I'll take it easy on the cardio. Maybe one hour a week.

Thank you for

As a complete beginner with an unfit body, I will start with cardio exercises then when my body get used to working out I'll start combining the two exercises in my routine. insha'Allah ❤

I do zumba beside of my daily running & cycling... It's help me a lot... ❤

Cardio can target what is most important - you're cardiovascular system! I'm skinny and weak but I out max the heart stress test at 64

For most people aerobic is probably the best to lose fat or burn most calories than cardio which increases you heart rate but aerobic doesn't. Climbing stairs or climbing treatmill(setting the incline level higher than 10) is the best for calories burning, but really in reality everyone's body are different. Don't JUST do cardio/aerobic, also work a little strength train, even though you're eating enough protein, you might still lose muscle along the process of eating healthy and working out cardio/aerobic and losing weight ≠ losing fat, muscle weigh more than fat with difference in density.

I do both.

Remember everyone your workouts can look different just do what’s right for your body

Congrats... Spectacular *

Yo I did only like 3 days of strength training and at the beginning it was like impossible to lift the 2kgweights now I can lift them with ease

I've always hated cardio. I would usually skip it and continue my bodybuilding routine. Eventually I noticed I was getting muscular although I would get puffed out very quickly. My endurance was terrible. It took me a while to realise the best form of cardio for me is jump rope and cycling. Running felt too boring.

for me i do a month of strength( with rest days) then do cardio for 2 months( cycling, soccer) my body only likes this routine if i do both I've always got injured

Excelente

When i do strength 2 times a week can i do full body or do i need to do upper body and lower on different days
