The Aerobic training is no longer the king of fat burning.. Let's just look at the latest research on aerobic training.
Do you think only aerobic training can improve your cardiovascular fitness and then you'll be surprised by the latest comparison of circuit weight training and cardiovascular exercise.
Brazilian researchers assigned subjects training program for twelve weeks. One group of subjects served as an inactive control group while the second group start performed aerobic exercise three times per week (35 minutes at 70% of maximal heart rate), and a third group did circuit training for three days per week (lifting at 60% of their 1 repetition maximum for a series of exercises for 35 minutes).
Most people would be shocked to know that the aerobic training group does not outperform the lifting group. It’s much commons sense that both groups would have lower body strength increases but only the training group would have enhanced their upper body strength.
This study gives a pleasant surprise for both men and women who want to strengthen their entire body and improve their aerobic fitness in only a few workouts per week. You don't have to do this with slow, boring cardio workouts to improve your health (besides you'd miss out on the upper body strength gains anyway).
To get maximum results in minimum time, perform multi-muscle resistance exercises (such as squats, pushups, and rowing exercises).
Your best bet is to start with a bodyweight warm-up for 5 minutes with squats and push up. Follow the warm up with movements like barbell squats and dumbbell rows, multi-joint, multi-muscle movements. Follow the exercises with interval training and you have a muscle building, fat loss workout all in one.
