Why aerobic exercise is not enough!
Why aerobic exercise is not enough
“But,” the question goes, “Can’t I just go for a run and build muscle? I’m using muscles when I run!” The answer is NO! Running or other aerobic exercise is not a replacement for strength training. They are different exercises and provide different benefits. Aerobic exercise does not deliver the needed stress to your bones, muscles and tendons…sorry : (
In order to build strength, you have to pull hard on tendons, do microscopic damage to your muscles and literally bend your bones, (I know sounds awesome right, but don’t be dramatic). Going out for a run or putting in an hour on the treadmill will not do this sufficiently. This is not to say that aerobic exercise is not important: it is! But it is not strength training. You need both and if you omit one, you do your body a great disservice.
Or you can do what I do and blend them. Which I think is the best of both worlds. So, I workout out with a guy named Fred, he is busy, I am busy, we each have a family and don’t have a ton of time to train. Regardless, this is what we did on Tuesday morning at 5:30am. It’s called Density Training.
So, density training (partner workout) 5:30 minutes per station, 60 second break between stations. The partner who is doing the static holds takes as long as it takes the other person to finish the reps. In short, set a timer for 5:30, find a friend (because it’s always better with some extra accountability : ), and do the following exercises.
Density Training
A1. Kettlebell Deadlift X 12
A2. Glute Bridge Hold
B1. Sandbag or Air Squats X 12
B2. Push Up Plank Hold
C1. Sandbag Bent Over Row X 12
C2. Squat Hold
D1. Sandbag Ground to Overhead X 12
D2. Burpees, YES, Burpees
Metabolic Finisher (Mfer)
Glute Bridge Hold X 30 seconds
Glute Marching X 30 seconds
Squat Jumps X 30 seconds
Lunge Jumps X 30 seconds
Squat Hold X 30 seconds
Squat Jumps X 30 seconds
That is just an example, but you will get the best of both worlds. Enjoy! If you want to lose the jiggle in their middle.
