Cardio Queen VS. Strength Sista

Heaps of girls stay clear from any form of strength training.

They do this usually because of three reasons;

1) They don’t know how to incorporate strength into their programs.

2) They feel embarrassed and intimidated to go into the weight section of their gyms because they are overloaded with creepy meatheads.

3) They are scared of getting ‘bulky’.

Luckily specific small group training at Royale Fitness such as HEARTCORE and PowerHIIT instantly prevents 1 & 2 so I don’t need to go into depth with that but 3 still arises within Royale Fitness and runs through the back of many girls minds when it comes to training.

I think these professional bodybuilders have put it in our mind that if we touch anything heavy we will puff out and look like a cloud – this will NOT happen!

Let’s look at it simply:

Cardio only = burns fat 

This is good.

But if endless amount of cardio is all you’re doing you are not sculpting any lean muscles underneath it, once all the fat has been burnt you then begin to burn muscle – think marathon runners.

Strength training only= creates lean muscle

This is also good.

Muscle burns more calories, which means you’ll be able to eat more (yay!) but you will still have that top layer of fat on those annoying areas (legs/stomach)

Cardio + Strength training = burns fat and creates lean muscle.

A even combination of both is what will give you that lean, toned look you have been after – cardio will kill your fat, increase your fitness and strength training will create long lean muscles, increase your strength and you’ll finish the session feeling strong as sh*t!!

Both strength and cardio need to be continuously progressed your weights must get heavier and your cardio must get faster – there is no point staying at the same pace/weight for endless amounts of weeks!
