No substitute for sweat

There's no substitute for hard work when it comes to working out - period.
According to a study at the University of California, Santa Cruz, the best way to improve your muscular strength, endurance, body composition and flexibility is through a combination of resistance training with aerobic exercise in a single workout.

In other words - before each set of resistance training you should perform a short bout of cardio - on a treadmill, stationery bike or run/skip in place. This elevates the heart rate and keeps it raised for longer than if you were to do only weights. This allows you to burn more fat and build more muscle in less time.

Essentially you'll transform your regular strength training routine into a fat-blasting, building triumph!

So crank up the intensity of your next work out and start seeing bigger results FAST!
