No, cardiovascular exercise should only be one aspect of a fitness program. Cardiovascular exercise also doesn’t promote lean muscle. Weightlifting also helps with bone density to help prevent osteoporosis.

Start off slow by doing both. They are both very beneficial and neither one should be overlooked.
It is very hard to get bulky. It takes a long time to grow muscles. Therefore, it is easier to tone and strengthen your muscle. Giving you a long, lean appearance.
Lifting light weights is a waste of your time and energy, unless you are injured or recovering from an injury. You should think that each set should be challenging, but doable. Each set shouldn’t be to failure, but if you had to do one more repetition you shouldn’t be able to complete it.
Weight training will make your muscles, tendons and connective tissues stronger to support your body while doing these events. The stronger you are the more support you have and the less likelihood you have for an injury. Never mind it will get you stronger to last longer and hopefully win a sprint in the last few seconds of the race.Lifting light weights is a waste of your time and energy, unless you are injured or recovering from an injury.

``It is difficult to say ``life-changing experience,`` so I won't. All I will say is my life is vastly better since training with BREAKAWAY. Go to the warehouse across the street from the ``office gym`` and work the sleds, tires, ladder, etc. Always different. I have been going for 10 plus years and have felt better when I left than when I came in. Every Time.``
``BREAKAWAY Fitness is a lot like the TV show “Cheers” -where everybody knows your name. You want to come back even though there’s no beer and you have a hard time lifting your arms because you used a muscle you didn’t know you had. It’s more than just a gym; it’s where you go get a recommendation on a book, a good haircut and catch up with friends. The trainers encourage you in a positive way and get more out of you than you thought you could give. For me it’s about feeling good and BREAKAWAY does that for me. I always feel better after I’ve been.”
