Document Summary
When stressing the cardiovascular system, you have to do it by moving contracting large skeletal muscles that signal the body that they need more oxygen and fuel. Resistance training is often relegated to a poor second behind cardiovascular conditioning, but both are crucial to your health and poor musculoskeletal development will put people into a nursing home early! Even dr. kenneth cooper an exercise physiologist often referred to as the father of aerobics , argues that anyone over the age of 50 should be spending 50% of their training on muscular strength/endurance. As you will learn in this text, i think we should combine them all as soon as possible. The sooner you make something a habit, the better your chances of staying with the behaviour. If you do no resistance training until you are 40 or 50, it will be hard to start.
