Cardio vs. Strength Training – Episode 2750

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2750- Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer help start your fitness plan with the benefits of cardio vs. strength training and where you should begin.

Cardio vs. Strength Training

  • Where does a beginner start? (5:00)
    • Just start with what you know you can do.
    • If you are sedentary, start with a short walk and gradually increase it each time.
  • Your aerobic vs anaerobic capacity is different things. (9:00)
    • Vinnie gives a list of the variety of things that qualify as each.
  • There are different benefits to cardio and strength training. (17:00)
  • What is recommended? Picking one focus and sticking to it (for example, cardio), or finding a balance between cardio *and* strength training to start? (22:00)
    • Vinnie shares his brother Mark’s journey. (23:00)
    • Sometimes, you really do have to start with “baby steps” and grow into the routine.
  • Vinnie likes to consider Zone 2 (70-80% of your cardiac capacity) as cardio; however, if someone is starting, any walk will help them get started. (36:00)
  • In strength training, it can be intoxicating to feel yourself get stronger. (39:00)
    • You will feel the strength before you start seeing visible gains. (43:00)

The Zones

  • Vinnie describes the Five Zones; however, you only need to pay attention to four of them. (47:30)
    • The calculation to find Zone 2 (with the Maffetone method) is: 180 – (your age) = desired heart rate, or beats per minute. If you are already active, you can add about five more points to the desired heart rate.
  • Before starting any exercise program, it is highly recommended that you see your doctor first and have a stress test.
  • If you are eating correctly, such as with NSNG®, exercise will help build lean muscle mass. (59:00)
  • More is not always better; sometimes, more recovery is better. (1:01:00)
  • Vinnie recommends 4 or 5 hours a week for cardio, unless you are training for a marathon or similar competition. (1:05:00)
