Are 30 minutes on the treadmill a good idea?
Unfortunately, many people still believe that long-duration cardio is the best or only strategy for fat loss. This is a big mistake and, fortunately, a myth that is gradually being debunked.
Scientific evidence increasingly shows that long sessions of moderate- or low-intensity cardio do not deliver the desired fat-loss results.
What about weight training?
WEIGHT TRAINING helps you lose fat! Depending on the intensity and the exercises prescribed… YES! Weight training can speed up fat burning throughout the day, helping you lose more weight than low- and moderate-intensity cardio!!! With your metabolism revved up, you keep burning fat long after exercising.
Compound exercises
Which exercises can best help with fat loss? Choose compound exercises such as the barbell back squat, front squat, deadlift, pull-up…
For example, both deadlifts and squats are exercises that help build strength and muscle mass throughout the body.
More than 200 muscles are involved in performing these exercises!!! In addition, they are among the exercises that release the most growth hormone (hGH) and testosterone, increasing strength and promoting the growth of all your muscles.
Pay attention to your diet
One important caveat: a good workout doesn’t work without a good diet. Think of your body like a car. It needs fuel to run. But just any fuel won’t do. It needs the right fuel; otherwise, it won’t work properly and may develop problems.
Is 30 minutes of treadmill cardio worth it?
Treadmills can help you burn calories faster than some other forms of aerobic exercise. 30 minutes on the treadmill is a good amount of time for this.
But what REALLY boosts fat burning and muscle growth is weight training.
Perhaps the best-known health benefit of treadmills is their ability to help people lose weight quickly and efficiently.
Working out on a treadmill with HIIT workouts is one of the best ways to reduce body fat quickly and safely. However, low-intensity treadmill workouts can also help reduce body fat, although the results may not be as immediate.
Walking or running on an incline, or alternating between sprints and jogging, is also a great way to lose weight while exercising on a treadmill.
