◼️ CARDIO IS NOT THE ANSWER
You want to lose fat and get fit…so you hop on the treadmill and sweat it out.
This is the exercise go-to for nearly everyone.
But…
That will NOT get you fit.
Sweating, breathing hard, increased heart rate…all things that typically happen while doing cardio.
Ok, that’s cool. Those are good things, but they’re also not guaranteeing ANY fat loss whatsoever.
Even wearables will have you thinking cardio is superior to weight training, because it shows how many calories you burned during that session.
Lets say in 60 mins of cardio, you burn 350 calories, and in 60 mins of weights, you burn 250.
Boom, there’s your proof, right?
WRONG.
Cardio: burn cals while your’e doing it.
Weights: burn cals while you’re doing it AND for the next 48-72 hours, as your body rebuilds, restores, and lays down new muscle fiber.
Its harder to measure, but rest assured, weight training is far superior to cardio when it comes to getting fit and losing fat.
There’s nothing wrong with cardio and I think you should be doing it on a regular basis, but you can’t count on cardio to get you fit.
Get into a caloric deficit, eat enough protein, and train - that’s how you lose JUST fat and have a much more resilient, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing transformation possible.
