Aerobics or Strength Training: Which is better?

 Which system is better for reaching your goals?

Which is better? Aerobic training (long distance running, stints on the Stairmaster) or anaerobic training (weight training & short intense conditioning work)

I've been asked this question hundreds if not thousands of times. First I'll give what I think is best and then I will talk about whether what I think is best even matters.

I my own professional opinion and from my experiences I believe a combination of strength training exercises (with free weights, machines, or bodyweight) and high intensity anaerobic exercise (e.g. Sprinting, running up hills, or stairs etc... have yielded the best results for me and the people I've worked with. I'll take it a step further by just looking at what the elite athletes do. The first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to ideal body composition (low body fat levels) and weight loss are long distance runners and sprinters. Marathoners run and workout for what seems like forever. One hour runs 4 to 6 times a week are the norm for many of them. Combine that with strength training (which many won't do because they're too tired and over trained from running) and you're working out almost everyday. Sprinters on the other hand use short intense workouts to build their speed. Many sprint 2 to 4 times a week for about 30-45 minutes and strength train 2-4x a week for about 30-45 minutes. Many times it looks as if they're not even training hard because they rest a while between their sprint sets.

With out getting too far into the details of the workouts of sprinters and marathoners I'll say this: The sprinters get far more in return for what amounts to less time spent working out. Just take a look at an elite marathoner (they look stringy and many times weak and sickly). Now look over at an elite sprinter and they look like an Adonis (It all boils down to what their training offers them. Long distance running will improve your aerobic endurance but at the cost of you overtraining, possibly having more colds, less muscle, you not looking and feeling your best and also leaving less time to do other things you might like. Sprinting and strength training will not give you the endurance to run 2 hours but you will look better, have more muscle, less fat, have more time to do other things. So I guess it's safe to say that I think strength training and anaerobic work wins in my book. Absolutely! Now does what I believe really matter when it comes to finding what works best for you?

Mia Sand, aka Miss Mia Fit

Some time ago, everyone knew a danish named Mia Sand who, despite her 80 kg, is considered by many to be the ideal woman of today. Sand is very active in her social networks where she motivates her followers to lead a healthy life. People from all over the world admire its body and its curves. His figure challenges the figures of today's skinny models.

Mia started her fitness adventure when her first-born son was four years old. The woman in one of her interviews admitted that she has always been a tall, curvy girl. Like most teenagers, she had difficulties accepting herself and loving her body as it was. However, she did not let herself get carried away by the depression and decided to work on her body to see the best version of herself in the mirror. He started by going to the local gym when he was 25 years old and was already a child's mother. During her pregnancy she gained a few extra kilos of which she was not happy and decided to exercise regularly to recover her previous figure or even improve it.

Mia admits that at the beginning it was difficult because her physical condition was not in the best state. However, he did not give up and little by little his love for the gym and lifting weights was born. Following the advice of his private trainer, he started lifting heavier objects to sculpt his body. Now, with her own experience, Mia motivates women around the world to fight for their dreams. It also teaches them that the only limits are those they have in their heads; others do not exist.

Her message to young mothers is that they do not just conform to being a mother, but rather to do something for them and their bodies. Nor is ashamed to remind herself and all those around her that what she has achieved is to set goals that defy the norm and not conform to the standard norms established by society. With this mentality inspires a large base of admirers, both young women and men.

According to Mia, in order to be fit, it is necessary to exercise frequently and maintain the balance between physical activity and diet, since one can not function without the other. Now, the beautiful Danish woman fully accepts herself, but knows that she has to work every day on her figure to keep the results. It is a beautiful example to follow for all who want to change their lives and fight for their dreams.
