    Thank you so much sir for giving us these valuable information.

    I try to incorporate strength training with cardio. E.g. Burpees. You get to work your arms, legs, and cardio.
    If im climbing stairs I would make myself carry kettlebells. Get to work on your arms and at the same time, train your cardio too.



  6. Kelsey B on December 8, 2021 at 2:13 pm

    Don’t forget that walking is also great cardio! A walk a day goes a long way!



  7. Jacob Harris on December 8, 2021 at 2:16 pm

    I do both.



  8. Flyingcolors on December 8, 2021 at 2:17 pm

    The best form of exercise is the one you enjoy.



  9. deez nuts on December 8, 2021 at 2:17 pm

    I started working out 3 weeks ago. Cardio thrice a week, same with strength training. Obviously no visible results yet, but I feel so great and I have been able to switch from 2kg weights to 5kg ones. It ain’t much, but those 5kg dumbells were IMPOSSIBLE at the beginning



  10. LaRell Thomas on December 8, 2021 at 2:17 pm

    i’m doing a full body fat loss 14 day program and i see that there is some HIIT cardio and regular full body cardio for like 2 days and then the rest of the days are strength training (i think). is that good to do for a week? i heard cardio was better for burning calories and fat loss was better for burning fat. I just want to know if what I am doing is right or wrong.

    Very informative video, straight to the point.



  12. abaNL on December 8, 2021 at 2:20 pm

And after that il have another goal. Sorry if my english sucks.



  13. Felipe L. on December 8, 2021 at 2:21 pm

    So this means an Adequate sports session should include cardio workout and strength training



  14. Hassle_ Passle on December 8, 2021 at 2:26 pm

    Due to Covid all the gyms have closed and I don’t have any equipment to do strength training other than my 8lbs dumbells and YouTube dumbells workout videos along with some resistance training. Is tht enough to get you toned and stay in shape along with a HIIT workout?



  15. immansi on December 8, 2021 at 2:28 pm

    I did running for one hour daily I getted fit in a month



  16. km j on December 8, 2021 at 2:28 pm

  17. Dr suhas joshi on December 8, 2021 at 2:30 pm

    What the hell .
    There is no direct connection between weight and cancer.
    🙄



  18. A to Z fitness & Iron rod furniture on December 8, 2021 at 2:30 pm

    Very nice



  19. Herb Bowler on December 8, 2021 at 2:30 pm

    Cardio vs. Strength
    B. S. We need both !



  20. MadChristoph on December 8, 2021 at 2:32 pm

    Lost 50 pounds from Cardio (Walking/Running), now on a plateau, may need to add in Strength Training now



  21. It's Me on December 8, 2021 at 2:32 pm

    Short and very informative.



  22. Flair on December 8, 2021 at 2:33 pm

    Eh, sit up is bad tho



  23. jesus_isourcreator on December 8, 2021 at 2:34 pm

    Hey you, Jesus is real! He loves you and died for you. You are never too far gone to accept Him in your heart! 🙂 Have a good day!!💖



  24. Bryant Baez on December 8, 2021 at 2:34 pm

    Can I do cardio and strength training everyday to lose weight?



  25. Sam Boriboun on December 8, 2021 at 2:35 pm

    Do weights first then hiit cardio for 10min



  26. rachel183321 on December 8, 2021 at 2:35 pm

    Dance is a good cardio workout 🏋🏽‍♀️



  27. Z on December 8, 2021 at 2:35 pm

    Just do freestyle dance for cardio then grab some weight afterwards and don’t forget the squats. Do it consistently and you’d look sexier and healthier while still enjoy food 😌



  28. Steven Burke on December 8, 2021 at 2:36 pm

    Amazing how we joke about our health



  29. Mariel Webbe on December 8, 2021 at 2:37 pm

    I used to think exercise was just exercise, and by that you could achieve anything. But this video makes me understand how to get my fitness back the correct way



  30. Eric on December 8, 2021 at 2:37 pm

    For beginners out there. I’m talking about real beginner’s, no experience in cardio or weight training. My best advice is to not follow any advice. Test your own body out, test your form of cardio, each person responds differently than others. Test different exercises and see which ones work and get you the best results, drop the ones that don’t and keep the ones that do. Only thing you should always do is keep the form of any exercise you do, that’s universal. Good luck to you new beginner’s out there.



  31. Jay Stiel on December 8, 2021 at 2:38 pm

    I do 30 minutes of weight training followed by 30 minutes of running, 5 days a week and it works for me.



  32. Rock Lense on December 8, 2021 at 2:41 pm

    nice



  33. Marilyn Monhoe on December 8, 2021 at 2:44 pm

    This explains a lot. I used to only do cardio but I’d still feel flabby even with a bmi of 18. I want to go to the gym but last time I went it was full of pervy men and it made me so uncomfortable.



  34. Cecilia Patra on December 8, 2021 at 2:45 pm

    didn’t expect to see the last bit of "lower your cancer risk" until i saw the name of the channel



  35. Carlos Anderson on December 8, 2021 at 2:47 pm

    I just started working out and eating more. I’m a skinny guy so I’ll take it easy on the cardio. Maybe one hour a week.



  36. Nunya Buissness on December 8, 2021 at 2:48 pm

    Who else has to watch this for pe



  37. Iwan K on December 8, 2021 at 2:49 pm

    Good👍



  38. Albin Peter on December 8, 2021 at 2:51 pm

  43. Killua Zoldyck on December 8, 2021 at 2:59 pm

    Tbh I wasn’t concern of my weight but now that I have slight bp I’m trying to do exercise cos I’m scared to have heart diseases ,or stroke or something



  44. Nightmare on December 8, 2021 at 3:03 pm

    Only use for cardio is to warm up



  45. Thomas Construction co on December 8, 2021 at 3:05 pm

    do strength training workout with light weight and lotta reps for cardio if u hate running or cycling



  46. Henry Drieberg on December 8, 2021 at 3:06 pm

    I love short and sweet video



  47. Karen chane Abonales on December 8, 2021 at 3:06 pm

    Gratefulness is the secret to happiness. Once we all realize how incredibly lucky we are to even be alive on this planet and stop comparing ourselves to others, true happiness will find us. The one thing that helped me so much to become more grateful was Forwago.



  48. So kk on December 8, 2021 at 3:07 pm

    Both are effective workouts then



  49. Marcus Cheng on December 8, 2021 at 3:07 pm
