If you've ever asked, "Should I be doing more cardio or strength training?"—you're not alone.
This is one of the most common questions we get at Right Direction Personal Training, and the answer depends on your goals, your body, and your lifestyle.
Let's break it down with a clear, no-BS comparison.
Benefits:
"If you want to reshape your body, protect your joints, and move confidently into your 40s, 50s, and beyond—lift weights."— Mike Seta
Benefits:
Cardio doesn't have to be high-impact or time-consuming. Walking, biking, rowing, or even rucking are great options.
Here's Mike's rule of thumb at Right Direction:
Right Direction Personal Training programs are built to blend both modalities in a strategic way:
"You don't need to spend hours doing cardio or lift like a bodybuilder. You just need a plan that fits your life and adapts over time."
"I used to run 5x a week and never got the results I wanted. After adding strength training with Mike, my body changed fast—and my knees feel better too."— Jenna T., client
"I never liked cardio, and I thought I had to do it to lose weight. Turns out, lifting smart and walking more was the real key."— Brian M., client
