Q. How many minutes/times per week should you do cardio…what are some of the best options to burn the most calories — “the most bang for your buck” , so to speak… A. It all depends on what you are trying to accomplish in your training program. Starting out, I would do 2-3 times a week, no more than 30 minutes. If you are just beginning, do not over do it. But at some point you will have to change it up to get results. Like I said before, it is based on what you are trying to accomplish in your training program. As for more bang for your buck options, go into interval types of training. Tabata, cardio strength…these are usually timed intervals with short rest in between. The great thing about interval training it does not take a lot of time and you can do them anywhere. All of my clients do some sort of interval training at least 2-3 times a week and they see results from it. Thank you for your question. |

Q. How many training sessions do I really need to make a difference? A: 2-3 training sessions per week. 2 is good, 3 is best. |

Q. Will lighter weights with high reps get me lean and strong? A. No. In order to get lean and strong you have to have a good program design that is progressive. In other words, your weights, program, and progression should change throughout your training. This will yield the most positive results and get you to your goal faster.
