Is cardio training or strength training better for overall fitness? It’s a question as old as the fitness industry itself, and the answer has been muddled and rephrased and manipulated for myriad reasons. Usually – to sell you something.

Both types of training provide so many benefits for your mental and physical health, and finding an intersection of both activities will maximize them for you.
