To burn more fat ... first the weights or the cardio?

Going out for a run is one of the first activities we think of when we want to start  in the world of physical activity and 
burn fat. We tend to think that it is the right and perfect exercise, and that a few minutes of running will be enough to 
achieve good results. Yes! It is good to lead a healthy lifestyle and improve our physical condition, all accompanied 
by a good diet, but not to achieve maximum and exercise combinations. 



There are many different training methods that alloweffectiveness. In this way, we close the doors to other more 
beneficial options us to reach our goals more quickly.The mix of weights and cardio is one of the great options that 
is in fashion.Combining aerobic exercise with anaerobic , allows you to work at different intensities for different 
periods of time. In the first case, it is about doing low intensity activities for a long time, while the second requires 
working at a high intensity in short periods of time. Once we are clear about this, perhaps a doubt will arise. Where 
to start? What exercise is better to do before? To take more advantage of the effort and burn more fat, the key is to 
start with anaerobic and end with aerobic. In this way, you will favor your results. 

Order, also in the gym A common belief is that cardiovascular exercise is more beneficial before weight training and toning. Error! By following this order, you are wasting the real amount of fat you can burn. Cardio consumes glycogen, an energy reserve that is transformed into glucose when the body needs it. It is a storage of carbohydrates, localizable in the muscle and in the liver. 

If we start doing aerobic exercise, we will consume all this substance. That is, we will run out of energy and lack the strength to continue with the weights afterwards. We reduce efficiency! Instead, starting with toning and exercises to increase muscle mass, will allow our muscles to work reaching their maximum effort. In addition, you can spend more time stimulating your muscles, doing more repetitions and even increasing weight.It is the best method to burn fat! Why? Since we have already depleted glycogen reserves, our body must use body fat as fuel to continue activity. Thus, we will be burning much fatter.

3 keys you can't forget

Whether it's to gain muscle or lose more fat, there are a few things to keep in mind

before you start combining aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Weight training

requires more energy and intensity, so you have to be fresh to invest the most

of us. Keep these keys in mind so that the situation is not reversed!

Rest period

When exercising with weights, your body will need recovery time. Rest periods are

vital to achieve optimal results. The muscles need to recover and will wear out

if we work them day after day.

Sleep hygiene

Sleeping and resting well is very important, in all aspects of our life. A quality sleep

allows us to regain strength and retrain at high intensity. Disconnect, close

your eyes and rest!

Don't spend training!

Overtraining can offset the benefits. If we use the muscles excessively, we will block them and we will not be able to gain muscle. Likewise, it will also not be effective in losing fatter. So, don't do weight training every day.
