I know that cardio is excellent for your heart and lungs. But, when I’m lifting weights my heart obviously beats pretty fast as I lift and for quite a while after, obviously supplying oxygen, blood etc to where it’s needed. I also sweat a fair bit for about an hour after a good workout too.

My question is, is lifting weights helping me to maintain a healthy heart ? I’m not really talking about fat loss aspect, but rather the raise in heart rate, does it have the same benefits as doing a cardio work out ?

Thanks guys.

Best answer:

Answer by Mister Ambulance Driver
if you can lift weights at a rate that will keep your heart beating in that target HR range; then yes, it’ll do pretty much the same thing as a cardio exercise.

most likely though, with lifting heavier weights; that’s not happening.

I have something called Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome; I diagnosed myself by reading the symptoms off the internet, I’m not a doctor. It’s a disorder where the person cannot fall asleep before 2 am, like I stay up until like 3:30 or 4:00 in the morning, and really have a hard time getting up in the morning, on my days off, I sometimes don’t get up until 2:00 in the afternoon–so what I’m doing is very very wrong. The good news is that this disorder doesn’t cause me to be late for work or school–I can still get up early when necessary, the only downside is that I lose sleep. You see, I can’t get up early for no reason, but I would like to, hoping that it will improve my mood. My friend says that he gets up early because “he feels like it.” I wanna be that way without feeling weird or tired. My biological clock isn’t normal, which makes me a worthless piece of crap to society, and I would like to change it. I would like to have fixed sleep hours where I go to bed at midnight and get up at 8:00am everyday, so I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to reach my goal in a short period of time. I want to get into this new habit like really fast, like within the next 48 hours or else I’ll lose my mind and get really p*$$ed at myself. Anything I can do to jump start my new habit here? Cause I kept hearing how overtime that having set sleep hours improves mental health? Is this true, I really wanna get better, like fast!! Any suggestions are cool, thanks.

It read that my battery health is at 97% after 230 cycles. I’ve had it since June ’08, so I was wondering if that was a good battery health considering its age and cycles.
What else can I do to improve my battery health, or keep it at a good percent, over the years? Any suggestions?
