If you want to improve your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/goal-heart-health\/N-cp98xr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heart health<\/a>, conditioning, or endurance, start your workout with cardio. If you want to make strength gains, start with the weights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/25\/rep-range-fat-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Best Rep Range If You\u2019re Strength-Training For Weight Loss<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do first will make you more tired than you would\u2019ve been for what you do second\u2014especially your legs, which are often used heavily in both cardio and strength exercise, according Nicholas Ratamess, Ph.D., C.S.C.S.*D, one of the authors and associate professor or Health and Exercise Science at The College of New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to hit cardio before a big lift, monitor your intensity. \u201cIf your cardio is low-intensity and short in duration, it may not have as many negative effects on your strength workout, for example,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>But if you\u2019re attacking an intense cardio workout like HIIT (high-intensity interval training) right before lifting weights, expect your performance to be diminished, according to another one of Ratamess\u2019 studies, published in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/27658232\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The study had young, fit men perform intense running exercises, wait 10 minutes, and then perform a strength workout. The result: The participants who ran prior to lifting performed nine to 18 percent fewer reps than those who didn\u2019t. Not surprisingly, the most dramatic difference was seen in leg exercises. The men also had higher heart rates, reduced power output, and higher overall ratings of fatigue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/01\/20\/best-workout-for-weight-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Best Cardio Workout For Weight Loss<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The good news: If your goal is to lose weight, both cardio and lifting will help you get there. \u201cBoth aerobic and resistance training increase your calorie burn,\u201d says Ratamess. Aerobic exercise helps you burn more <em>during<\/em> exercise, while strength training will help you burn more <em>after <\/em>exercise.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works. Your muscles need to burn fuel to function, and part of that fuel comes in the form of oxygen. When you perform aerobic exercise, your muscles use oxygen at a rate that you can replenish with a little heavy breathing\u2014that\u2019s why you start to huff and puff when you jog or hit a quick round of burpees. But heavy lifting exercises (known as \u2018anaerobic\u2019) deplete your oxygen stores enough that you body has to work to replenish them long after you\u2019re done exercising\u2014burning extra calories the whole time.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line: Unless you\u2019re training specifically for extreme cardiovascular performance or ultra-heavy weightlifting, how you order your workouts won\u2019t have much impact on the benefits of breaking a sweat. However, you can still give sequential preference to one or the other if you\u2019re training for specific goals (like wanting to become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2016\/12\/09\/building-muscle-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more muscular<\/a>) or to improve certain weaknesses (like knee or ankle joint stability), according to Ratamess.<\/p>\n<p>For most people, training both strength and cardio simultaneously can be a good long-term approach to fitness. Hence why what Ratamess calls \u201chybrid programs,\u201d like CrossFit, Orangetheory, and Barry\u2019s Bootcamp, have become so popular. In these types of fitness classes, you\u2019ll bounce back and forth between cardio efforts like running or rowing and strength exercises like pushups or squats. The workouts require both cardiovascular capacity and strength, and create more of a hybrid athlete instead of a specialist, he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everybody has their own routine when they go to the gym.
