It’s a myth that you have to focus on either running or lifting weights in your workout routine. Cardio and strength training complement each other, and incorporating both can make you fitter overall, experts previously told Insider.
There’s good news if you hate running — you can get the benefits of cardio and build your aerobic capacity without it.
Certain types of weight training can get your heart pumping enough to count as cardio, according to Stan Efferding, a world-record powerlifter, pro bodybuilder, and coach. Hitting the weights can also be less tedious than more traditional cardio workouts.
“When I say work on cardio, that doesn’t mean go out jogging,” he told Insider. “If I prescribe a 40-minute session on the treadmill to people, the likelihood that they’ll do it consistently isn’t high and it’s not enjoyable.”
