Earlier this week, we asked you for feedback on our big internal debate about weights vs. cardio amid signs that Americans are losing interest in the latter.
The response nearly crashed our inboxes!
The verdict: Closer readers haven't abandoned good old-fashioned cardio — you like a mix of both.
Here's a selection:
Carolyn: "I would not consider myself having 'worked out' if I didn't do both things, and on days when I don't go and only walk for exercise, I feel like I'm cheating."
Caleb: "Every ounce of muscle you build with weights is more calories burned doing cardio. Better cardio fitness makes lifting more effective."
Erin: "Cardio without weights = gerbil on a wheel."
