# Is cardio fitness or strength training more important?

 [Tips](https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/blog/category/tips)

 

 

 

 

 

  Most people tend to divide fitness into this or that.

Exercise is exercise.

PERIOD.

Any form of movement raises one’s heart rate.

Any form.

So when someone is doing yoga , pilates and any form of movement that is also a cardiovascular exercise.

Then one exercise can be divided into aerobic and anaerobic.

Basically, in a very simplistic way when an exercise gets very hard the body moves from aerobic to anaerobic.

Anaerobic is that kind of exercise that you can not sustain for more than a minute without agony.

So next time someone asks you do you do cardio?

You always , always answer, YES.

The old paradox of fitness.
