How much cardio per day?
How can an obese person reduce their body fat? Strength training helps burn fat at rest!
📌How can strength training help you lose fat… since it doesn’t burn that many calories and doesn’t put you much in the fat-burning zone?❓
The straightforward answer isn’t what happens DURING your workout… but AFTER your workout, because fat utilization increases in the hours following strength training.
Proper strength training
📌As long as your strength training is WELL GUIDED, it can speed up fat loss throughout the day, helping you lose more weight than low- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise❗️With your metabolism revved up, you continue burning fat long after physical activity.
📌There are many myths surrounding weight loss and fat loss… the fact is… nutrition is always the main factor… combined with a good strength training program!! It’s no mystery!
How to speed up fat loss with cardio
Nutrition is the main pillar for creating an energy balance that leads to weight loss on the scale.
Improving your eating habits, combined with regular strength training, is the way to change your body composition—that is, lose fat and gain muscle mass.
If you are overweight, pay close attention to this.
The WHO recommends that adults increase their weekly physical activity to 300 minutes—up to one hour of exercise five days a week or 40 minutes seven days a week—or do 150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week, if there are no contraindications.
The organization’s latest guidelines, from 2010, focused on achieving “at least” 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise per week.
But there’s a caveat! Physical activity is any movement in your daily routine that stimulates your muscles and expends energy, such as walking, running, or climbing stairs. Exercise, on the other hand, refers to planned activities such as a strength training workout!
