Some of us have a limited time schedule of when we are able to exercise. We want the benefit of lifting weights, but we also know that that we need cardiovascular exercise. May I suggest using super sets during your weight lifting work out.
It is really just a matter of picking two or three exercises of the same body part with minimal rest in between each set. If you are doing two body parts, you can pick two exercises of each body part that are contrasting. For example, if you are doing arms, biceps and triceps or back and chest. Your super set can be two bicep and one tricep exercise.
Each time you complete each of the three exercises it is considered one super set. Do as many as you can within your capabilities. Then from that point you can increase your number of super sets.
From that point you can incorporate other exercises, into your routine. As you become more advanced you will want to add another set of super set exercises for biceps and triceps. If that is too difficult, you can add other sets of a single exercise.
I promise that if you continue to do these types of work outs, then you will not have to do a separate cardiovascular workout. Your heart rate will be elevated and you will have done both work outs at the same time.
