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

🕐 July 13, 2020

📲Cori Lefkowith

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!

 

RS PROGRAMS:

  • The Macro Hacks Program - The best results happen when our diet and workouts work together. And my Macro Hacks goes over how to dial in your diet at EVERY AGE!

    I used to be fearful of strength training, I didn’t want to be bulky. Thank you for giving me the knowledge to change my habits without fear and all of your honest encouragement.

    The audio isn’t coming up on this page to listen to the podcast. I also can’t find this topic on your podcast channel.

    Hello Cori,

    I am 52 and have trained regularly my whole life. Am now going through Menopause. Please could you be so kind as to advise which one of your programs would serve me best. Thanking you in advance.
