TLDR Learn how combining resistance training with intervals improves heart health post-cardiovascular event and reduces visceral fat.

Key insights

  • 💪 Combining resistance training with interval training improved cardiovascular health and reduced waist circumference more effectively than continuous cardio alone.
  • 🏋️‍♂️ High intensity interval training is safe, feasible, and effective for cardiac patients; obesity increases the risk of sudden cardiac death; combining resistance training with aerobic exercise is beneficial for cardiac rehabilitation.
  • 🔥 Super circuit training and resistance training paired with intervals on an aerobic machine can effectively reduce visceral fat and is safe for individuals who have had a heart attack. It improves QT dispersion, increases HRV, and reduces waist circumference, challenging the 'calories in, calories out' model.
  • 🏃‍♀️ Resistance training with cardio can lead to more belly fat loss and favorable changes in hormones as compared to just doing cardio alone. This combination also helps in building lean muscle mass and creating oxygen debt.
  • ✅ It's safe and effective for individuals who had a cardiovascular event to do exercise, but combining resistance training with cardiovascular intervals can increase fat loss and help prevent future events. Encourage high-risk individuals to start resistance training and intervals.
  • 🔬 Study comparing continuous cardio to super circuit training, Super circuit training involves combining resistance training with interval training, Benefits of pairing resistance training with interval training for cardiovascular health, Significant reduction in waist circumference
  • 🏆 Super circuit training and resistance training with intervals can reduce visceral fat and is safe for people who have had a heart attack., Increasing exercise intensity is favorable and improves QT dispersion and HRV., Super circuit training group showed a significant reduction in waist circumference, challenging the 'calories in, calories out' model.
  • 👍 Combining resistance training with cardiovascular intervals can enhance fat loss, Encouraging high-risk individuals to start resistance training and intervals for improved heart health

Q&A

  • What are the benefits of combining resistance training with cardiovascular intervals for individuals who had a cardiovascular event?

    Combining resistance training with cardiovascular intervals can increase fat loss and help prevent future cardiovascular events. It is safe and effective for individuals post-cardiovascular event and is encouraged to start resistance training and intervals for improved heart health.

  • How effective is resistance training with cardio compared to doing cardio alone?

    Resistance training with cardio leads to more belly fat loss and favorable hormone changes. This combination also helps in building lean muscle mass, creating oxygen debt, and is more effective than doing cardio alone, especially for individuals at risk of heart attack or high blood pressure.

  • Is high-intensity interval training (HIIT) safe and beneficial for cardiac patients?

    Yes, HIIT is safe, feasible, and effective for cardiac patients. It helps in cardiac rehabilitation. Also, obesity increases the risk of sudden cardiac death, making the combination of resistance training with aerobic exercise especially beneficial for individuals with heart conditions.

  • What is super circuit training, and how does it benefit cardiovascular health?

    Super circuit training involves combining resistance training with interval training. It effectively reduces visceral fat, improves QT dispersion, increases HRV, and challenges the traditional 'calories in, calories out' model. Additionally, it significantly reduces waist circumference, making it beneficial for cardiovascular health.

  • What did the study find about the effectiveness of combining resistance training with interval training for cardiovascular health?

    The study found that combining resistance training with interval training improved cardiovascular health and reduced waist circumference more effectively than continuous cardio alone.
