1: Moderate Aerobic exercise: The American College of Sports Medicine suggest all adults should engage in 30 to 45 minutes or more of moderately intense physical activity daily to maximize fitness gains and fat loss.
2: Concern for Muscle: According to the Mayo Clinic, if your aerobic workouts aren’t balanced by a proper dose of strength training, you’re missing out on a key component of overall health and fitness that will maximize fat loss, build bone density, improve posture, develop muscle tone and slow down the aging process.
