2.5 hours of moderate aerobic exercise per week such running, swimming, cycling, and walking is known to reduce health risks such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancer. New research finds now that a mixture of half aerobic and half resistance training (such as weight lifting) has the same effect on the cardiovascular health as just aerobic training for overweight persons, but not resistance training on its own.
