Mixing Cardio Exercise in to Help Build Muscles

Friday, October 21st, 2011

Lifting weights and other forms of strength training are great ways to build muscle. But sometimes you feel like you need to supercharge your work outs to get to where you want to be quicker.  There is a way to step up your muscle gain. Mix in some cardio exercises like jump rope or bike work. Anything that gets your heart pumping faster. When your heart rate is up it helps your strength training work out making  you add muscle quicker.

Start your exercise session with a light build up, jumping jacks work well. Next do three sets of the strength training exercise that you do normally. Instead of a short rest between sets do a minute of cardio. Keep a jump rope nearby and jump rope for a minute then go do the next set. Keep doing this throughout your work out and the muscle will come fast than ever before.
