Aerobics first than weights
December 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 am
A combination of the two.
Aerobics (Cardio) 5-6 days a week, in addition to:
Weights (Weight training, Circuit training) in intervals.
ie – monday: working on legs, tuesday: working on chest, wednesday: arms, etc. through friday. Sat & Sun. off.
OR
Circuit training, meaning each day you have a routine during which you switch stations (machines) in rapid succession, for example 2 sets of 12 arm lifts & directly off to 2 sets of calf raises. This 3 times a week because unlike with regular weight training where you are focusing on one body section at a time and can do all 5 weekdays, repeating this routine 5 days can be tireful & too straining.
I find it alot of times that doing weights or circuit training before cardio is better, exhaustion wise. But it really is just personal preference.
But if you’re not eating healthy, it will take much longer.

You should do both in different days. Do aerobics on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays. Do weights on wednesdays, fridays and sundays, use light weights and high reps.
Have a rest on mondays. Sleep 8 hours a day. Do some extra abs workout everyday at a different hour. Eat healthy and drink plenty (sugar free)

Start with aerobics. Aerobics will help your body adjust to exercise and get your body on track to lose the weight. Then go to the weights to tone and trim what the aerobics started.
Remember, aerobics will help drop pounds, and weights will help get rid of fat while building muscle tone and helping your body feel better.
Also, try water aerobics, just go to a swimming pool and run, jump, etc.

Let me put it simply you are not out to lose weight you really are planning to decrease your overall fat composition and increase your muscle mass. Well to begin to answer what type of weight are you interested in losing. I will assume that you are like most Americans and are interested in increasing lean muscle mass. So therefore you wish to decrease your body fat percentage and hopefully increase your metabolism.
Weights properly used combined with a balanced diet are the fastest way to do both. By lifting weights, getting proper rest, and eating a nutritious diet i have found to be a far more effective approach than to spend hours doing aerobics.
Lets face it during a typical 30 minute aerobics session you burn 400 calories eating a typical cheese burger negates that progress. However if you lift free weights i.e. barbells or dumbells to increase your overall muscle mass so that you burn more calories a day at a more constant rate ;this combined with a diet wholly composed of things other than processed foods you will feel much better in the long run. Now by increasing lean muscle mass i do not mean that you will bulk up to be the incredible hulk. Here are a few things to implement into your workout.
1)high intensity exercise is far more effective than a low intensity exercise such as aerobics. interval training, sprints and the like..
2)proper diet, adequate sleep, and free weights(diet being the most important)
3)avoiding processed foods and drink lots of water
