Differences between Conditioning and Strength Training

 

Strength training is better known as lifting weights. Most athletes start out by lifting a few weights and progressively work their way up to their maximum potential. You can utilize barbells, dumbbells, and machines to perform strength training exercises. Over time, you will see a significant difference in your muscles because they will become stronger while building more muscle mass.

These strength exercises do not require rapid changes because you can take short rest periods in between each rep to change out your dumbbell weights or make adjustments. You will select a suitable amount of resistance and perform a set number of repetitions. You will progressively switch to a heavier weight setting over time.

 

Condition exercises require building up your cardiovascular system, which means you will need to perform exercises at a quick amount of speed. Some examples of these exercises are running, jumping rope, aerobics, and jogging. Of course, there are a lot of gym exercises such as stationary cycling, as well.

 

All of these exercises will burn fat at a much quicker pace. Circuit training basically exercises that are done at a rapid progression and is effective in targeting different parts of the body. Breaks are required between condition training exercises and should last around 20-30 seconds each.
