Take Your Fitness To The Next Level With Combination Workouts

If you like doing a combination strength-and-cardio workout, do strength first as your body likes to use up carbs before it uses fat for energy.

Engage in endurance as well as interval workouts, in all forms of cardio, to lose weight, improve overall fitness, and reduce your risk of injury.

Take caution that if you do high-intensity cardio first, you may not have the strength to give weightlifting your all, which can cause your form to suffer.

Alternating between periods of high-intensity bursts (such as sprinting) and lower-intensity rest or recovery (such as jogging or walking) will burn more calories in less time.

Alternate between exercises such as squats, lunges, medicine ball passes, and burpees for 30 to 60 seconds each, then rest a minute between rounds.

Engage in bodyweight exercises like squats jumping jacks, high knees, and pushups to get your heart pumping and build muscular endurance.

Remember the more muscles used, the more oxygen required, and the more calories burned.

Interval training generally burns more fat overall, improves anaerobic capacity, and helps your body recover quicker.

Try to engage in circuit training which is a total-body workout that involves performing several different exercises in succession (a circuit) with minimal rest in between sets.
