FHP S2:E25 – Is Cardio Key For Weight Loss?

 

 

 

In this episode I discuss why cardio is NOT key for weight loss!

 

 

 

SUMMARY:

 

 

 

 

• While you can’t out exercise your diet, dialing in your workouts CAN help you better SUSTAIN your results!
• Cardio DOES burn more calories during your workouts, BUT over time you adapt and that calorie burn isn’t as high.
• Strength training is key to gaining and retaining lean muscle mass which helps you keep your metabolism “healthy.”

 

 

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

 

 

 

 

1. Focus on STRENGTH TRAINING! 
2. Workouts don’t have to be either or! Use metabolic strength workouts to get the best results!
3. Cardio is not a magic weight loss pill!
