FAT BURNING CARDIO MACHINES VS CIRCUIT TRAINING!!!

Cardio training and circuit training are the two most important types of training for fat burning. Cardio training basically concentrates on fat burning and loosing weight whereas circuit training includes explosive fat burning and and strength development at the same time.

Cardio machines consist
of one repetitive movement whereas circuit training consists of many movements combined together.

In cardio machines body can adapt easily as less energy is required and less calories are burned whereas circuit training is hard to adapt and it results in more calorie burn.

A very few muscles is engaged and with very low load lifts is practiced in cardio training whereas in circuit training, full body is engaged and with heavier loads is done.

Cardio training lowers metabolism and circuit training increases metabolism.

In cardio training we have very less variety of exercises whereas in circuit training we have endless variety of exercises.

Both the type of training can be incorporated during strength, hypertrophy and fat loss phase.

Cardio machines have their times and purpose, but in terms of efficiency and benefits, the scale tips heavily towards circuit training.
Some benefits of circuit training include:

- More movements=better movements=better mobility
- Endless possibilities to exercise variations, structure, programming and sequencing.
- Not getting bored with similar movements all the time.
- Engages more muscle throughout the workout. Can be done anywhere, park, home,etc.
- Minimal equipment required.
- If done at the gym, can be utilized with isolation machines.
- The benefits are endless, if you want to burn calories, don't just sit there and peddle away.
