Weightlifting does a wonderful job of increasing muscle mass, but often at the expense of flexibility and an increase in stress and strain on joints. Cardiovascular exercise improves your heart health, but can often cause your body to burn muscle while exercising. Additionally, the constant pounding that your body takes during a running-heavy cardio routine can lead to knee, ankle, and hip problems. Worse still, studies indicate that the more you run or jog, the quicker your body adapts. To continue to see health benefits, you must run ever-increasing distances and amounts of time.
