Welcome back to the Cabral House Call. I'm Stephen Cabral and today we're back to

answer your questions and

starting right off the bat today we have a great question. All three of our

questions today are actually focused on weight loss so let's get it

started. Question one is should you start with weights or just cardio?

So it's a really good question, so a lot of people starting out, they haven't been doing a formal program before,

or maybe they've just kind of dabbled with a little bit of walking on treadmill or doing a little

elliptical or whatever it might be.

So I think the question is, should you just do weights or should you just do cardio if you're getting

back into a weight loss plan or you want to start with a weight loss plan?

In my opinion I always

look towards what the long-term benefits and so I'd love to say if you can just

even do body weight-based workouts or cable-based workouts or some type of

resistance-based workouts but keeping your heart rate up

while you're doing it, that to me is the absolute best.

So if I had to choose between the two, I would absolutely choose that.

I would do a round of exercises, one, two, three, four, five at most exercises in a circuit or triset,

like three exercises.

And you're going to do that from anywhere between one and three minutes.

You'll take a period of time, which is about a one- one to one ratio of working out for one to three minutes

resting for that one to three minutes and then repeating those exercises whatever it is for that

round. So it's great because of course it will burn calories and everyone wants to talk about calorie burn.
