How to determine a better workout for weight loss and toning Anaerobic or Aerobic Training

Other then Miami or New York, Los Angeles is probably the toughest place to live when the pulse of the city is image and entertainment. A majority of my personal training business centers on these very issues, losing weight and toning up.
What’s the best way to lose weight and tone up?
Losing weight is a very simple mathematical equation: Consume less calories then you burn in a day AND YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT! That’s it, I’ve taken all the guess work out of your diet.

Now that you understand the weight loss process, how do you tone up?

Should I do my cardio (aerobic) before or after my weight training (anaerobic)?

The answer is both.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Anaerobic exercise is short-lasting, high-intensity activity, where your body’ s demand for oxygen exceeds the oxygen supply available. Anaerobic exercise relies on energy sources that are stored in the muscles and, unlike aerobic exercise, is not dependent on oxygen from (breathing) the air.

2. Examples of anaerobic exercise include: weight-lifting, sprints (running, biking, etc.), jumping rope, hill climbing, interval training, isometrics, or any rapid burst of quick exercises

3. Aerobic exercise is any physical exercise that requires additional effort by the heart and lungs to meet the striated muscles' increased demand for oxygen. Aerobic exercise increases the breathing rate and ultimately raises heart and lung efficiency. Unlike anaerobic exercises that are centered on quick bursts or maximum effort, aerobic activity generally requires 10 plus minutes of steady movement beyond the athletes breathing comfort zone.

4. Examples of aerobic exercise include: running, jogging, swimming, rowing and cycling.

Tips & Warnings

• Weight loss and toning revolve around 3 components: Diet, Anaerobic and Aerobic activity.
• It’s important to know that you won’t get through a full hour work-out with your trainer if your cardio, stamina, and endurance are lacking. When starting a fitness program that centers on weight loss and toning, assure yourself that you have a strong cardio base but always do your aerobic activity AFTER your anaerobic exercises.
• I strongly recommend a weight training routine (body weight, resistant bands or weights) as your anaerobic exercise to promote bone density, muscle, ligament and tendon strengthening. It's easy to see why a combination of aerobic and anaerobic training will do the most for your fitness level. And, since both aerobic and anaerobic training burn fat (anaerobic training actually yields the most post workout fat burning), the combining the two in your routine will burn fat and maintain muscle. Not only will you burn fat faster, you will keep the fat off and won't be bored in the process!
• Good luck and I look forward to working with you soon.
