Cardio or Weights : Which Is Better? - Healthy Happy Humans Podcast - Episode 138

from The Mind Body Health Podcast · host Dave Sheahan

Cardio or weights — which is better? Should you focus on running, cycling, swimming and other cardiovascular exercise, or should you be lifting weights and building strength? In Episode 4 of the Healthy Happy Humans Podcast's 10-part exercise series, Dave Sheahan explores one of the biggest questions in fitness and asks whether cardio and strength training really need to compete with each other. We look at what cardiovascular exercise can offer, why strength matters, why building muscle isn't simply about looking bigger, and how both cardio and resistance training can have an important place in a healthy, active lifestyle. Rather than asking "Cardio or weights — which one wins?", we explore a more useful question: **What does YOUR body need?** Your goals, interests, lifestyle and current level of fitness will all influence the approach that's right for you. Because you're not training simply to become better at exercise. **You're training so that you can become better at living.** This is Episode 4 of our 10-part Healthy Happy Humans exercise series.
