Should I Do Cardio or Weights?

When choosing a training program whether it be for sport specific performance, crossfit, or general fitness training coupling resistance training with cardio will give you the best bang for your buck. We all know that cardiovascular training helps the body deliver oxygen more efficiently, but did you know that proper resistance/weight training improves strength and endurance of the muscles, which in turn will help improve cardiovascular capacity. When you weight train, it raises your metabolic rate, which helps burn more calories and fat faster.

What Age Can Children Safely Start Training?

If I Lift Weights, Will I Get Bulky?

One of the main factors leading to increasing muscular size is the training protocol. Our training systems and the coaches who help implement these programs with you are specifically designing and coaching you to reach your goals. Lifting weights does not lead to big or bulky muscle unless the training is set up to do so, merely increases in muscular strength and definition. Most women and men experience a change in body fat percentage and will see increases in lean mass, WHICH we want =) while decreasing body fat as compared to just gaining pure size.
