Combining your strength and conditioning!

To say the words strength and conditioning one could associate the two as separate. The truth is that both variables can be combined into a cleverly thought out plan! To keep this simple, you can get both in some training styles you may already be familiar with. The truth is that if you are involved in a program that is primarily strength related, you are getting some benefit from cardiovascular conditioning. The same is true in reverse. However, the key is to have a program that obviously incorporates both variables with almost the same benefit and the same profits.

The benefits of both cardiovascular conditioning and strength training can present themselves in different ways. A simple explanation of how to optimally obtain these two variables is with kettlebell training. This training method involves a constant effort of resistance and at the same time challenges your cardiovascular system like you’ve probably never tried before! I get tired of people associating “Cardio” with only “aerobic” conditioning. The most optimal way to get huge gains in lean muscle mass, huge fat loss, and a jet-engine metabolism is through anaerobic conditioning. This isn’t a knock on aerobic conditioning, but anaerobic conditioning is the more dynamic training method that really allows us to forge both strength and conditioning variables together as one.

The bottom line is that if you have a well planned program, you will get a well built body. This is true whether you are an average fitness enthusiast or a top athlete. This is the fuel for human function. It’s what keeps us going!
