Why cardio and weight lifting is important

weight lifting in gym

In this century, most people have corporate jobs aka desk jobs

And their energy expenditure is far less than their daily consumption.

An average 25-year-old who doesn’t train and doesn’t know anything about weight lifting, recovery or nutritionĀ struggles to breatheĀ if he has to walk for half an hour or walk a few floors.

This is because of the excess weight he is carrying which makes basic activities difficult.

If he has to bend and lift some groceries he has to be very cautious otherwise he might hurt his lower back

Instead of eagerly waiting for weekends to do something fun and interesting, he wants to stay at home and rest the whole day

Now to fix this issue, he needs to reduce his body weight by reducing his overall calorie intake

At the same time, we need to understand the importance of cardiovascular health along with the skeletal muscles.

And gym is the place where you can improve both of these important components of health

The gym provides a variety of equipment for training.

For example: Free weights, machine weights, cardio machines, ellipticals

Many other tools to train skeletal muscle and your cardiovascular system.

Going to the gym will not only provide you with some machines and weights

But also a lot of people with better habits

Who are aware of the importance of health.

Being around such people will force you to grow and improve yourself.

There are countless reasons to go to the gym, but the most important is your health.

It might be a hard habit to start but your older self will thank you later

But regretting not training will only hurt you.

You cannot turn back time and change your past

But you can make your present and future better by making the right decision.
