How many minutes of cardio per day?
How strength training can help you lose fat. Since it doesn’t burn as many calories or put you in the fat-burning zone as much as cardio does.
Cardio after your workout
The straightforward answer isn’t about what happens DURING your workout… but rather AFTER it, because fat utilization increases in the hours following strength training.
Burn fat all day long
As long as your workout is WELL DESIGNED, strength training 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 keep burning fat for a long time 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!
Cardio for fat loss?
I don’t recommend low-intensity, moderate- and long-duration aerobic exercise for weight loss… If you do it for leisure and enjoyment, that’s fine… but we already know it’s not the best strategy for fat loss..
You could run all the way from here to the moon… and the weight loss would be negligible. It would be practical for me to recommend running 5 km a day… but it wouldn’t get you anywhere. Focus on your diet. Always. If you do it for leisure, that’s fine!! Do it because you enjoy it! No problem!
