According to the personal trainer and CEO of the DiCa Fit center, Álvaro Díaz Carazo, “train strength before cardio is, simply, giving priority to what comes first.” And why should we, like Cristina Pedroche, grant more importance to strength than cardio? The personal trainer and coach Andrea de Ayala, better known as Entrenaconandre, is clear about it: “We always recommend strength first and cardio later, whether we want to gain muscle or lose weight“. “In strength training we will use carbohydrates as the main source and we will focus on creating muscle. Thus, if we then train cardio, we can use the source of fat, having consumed the source of carbohydrates in strength training,” explains the expert.
In any case, Alvaro recommends that, to the extent possible, sessions be dividedespecially if they are as long as Cristina Pedroche’s. Thus, he invites you to practice, for example, cardio in the afternoon and strength in the morning. He says that, to train in a conscious and healthy way, it is recommended focus on adaptability to stimulus. For this reason, he points out that it is important to analyze, with the help of a professional, what is the best way to structure our training according to our need and capacity.

“Training with an incline, whether running or walking on a treadmill, makes cardio training accompanied by strength training legs, where the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings will work. This, furthermore, increases caloric expenditure“, Andrea begins by explaining. Now, to follow your steps, is there a slope or pace that we can consider ideal? According to our expert, each case is different. “It’s like running or doing weight training: both incline and pace will be adjusted and they will progress differently for each person,” he confirms. For Álvaro, the ideal thing when adjusting the tape is to take into account that walking or running has to require an effort but, at the same time, we have to choose an angle that allows us to reach the end of the training. “With little inclination for longer we are doing cardio, while with a high inclination we can even be working strength“explains the expert.

“The toe separator has become very fashionable and may be recommended depending on the circumstances for increase biomechanics and improve load distribution“, Álvaro tells us. “Training barefoot has different benefits such as stimulate the muscles and stability of the foot“, says Andrea. She also tells us that, “favors your back posture and proprioception of your body, strengthens muscles and ligamentsand furthermore improves the lymphatic system and blood circulation.” For the expert, “the separators are used to return the foot to its natural tread, compensating for the pressure effect exerted by shoes and sneakers that modify the anatomy of the feet.” With everything and with that, we arrive to the conclusion that they are a highly recommended tool for training with a focus on health.
