For years, there has been a stigma around runners including strength training into their workouts. For fear of injury or becoming “too big,” many people actively avoid diversifying their training in this way.

 

Sal Di Stefano has a different approach.  He believes that all forms of exercise are beneficial when applied properly, and that whether you are a strength or endurance athlete, you should incorporate elements of both into your training.

 

In this episode, the Mind Pump Media host joins Nick Bare to discuss the importance of these two forms of exercise in maintaining a healthy and fit lifestyle.  Sal dives into how strength training actually raises you metabolism and can lead to more fat loss than cardio alone.  He also covers how consistency and discipline are key in optimizing your life, and how you can make changes that will have lasting effects on you health, versus temporary, short-term improvements.
