What is Resistance training
To build muscle you need to exercise with weights period. The use of Gym equipment like the
Trojan Dominator, Power Cage and free weights are ideal to achieve this. You also need to focus
on your nutrition and rest. You need carbs for energy to exercise and protein and rest to build
and repair the muscle. The weights are used to break the muscle fibres so that when they repair,
they are rebuilt stronger. When you build muscle you need to consume more kilojoules (Calories)
than what your body normally uses (BMR). In the process you will pick up some fat which can be stripped away
afterwards with cardio and nutrition.

What is Cardio training
Cardio is an important part of weight control as it burns excess calories and when performed on
an empty stomach early in the morning or about 2 to 3 hours after a meal, will directly
tackle your fat reserves. I use the exercise bike, elliptical trainer and light weights high reps to achieve
a good cardio work out.
