Lifting vs cardio?

Question

What do you prefer? I enjoy cardio a lot more. Strength training feels too hard. I guess I'm weak🤷🏻‍♀️

I do strength training to increase my vertical I'm 14 and I can dunk so I can jump pretty high but in a couple of years, I want to be postering people like JA or zion with my head at the rim which in my opinion is very achievable since I've only been in weights for a month and I can dunk so a couple of years and I should reach my goal.

I do a 50/50 mix of both. "Strength training feels too hard. I guess I'm weak" It's hard for everyone but the point is that it makes you stronger.

I have a fast metabolism. No choice. Slow weight training for me. Will get short bursts in taekwondo here and there. But that is still more technical then aerobic.

I used to avoid lifting and concentrated on cardio but I was always getting some sort of injury. I found when I started lifting, doing squats etc I stopped getting injured

For overall fitness, cardio seems better for me, although some light weight lifting is also beneficial

Cardio for me but I also do weights and resistance training that’s specifically for football (soccer)

Charlesbrandonf · Answer

I train for strength, but cardio and two days of lifting should be fine. It’s not uncommon to feel week but if we look back we would see how far we have come.

I like doing both. I lift for the gains, and I fuck for the cardio.

Lifting.  You are not weak. You just prefer it more. Trust me ask a powerlifter to run 10 km at a decent speed and it will be hell for him. Is he weak? No, he just hates it.

If I must choose one, then it'd be strength training. But I play football everyday and that is the type of cardio/running I like the most!
