CARDIO OR WEIGHTS FOR FAT LOSS?
BOTH
If you are looking to maximise your fat loss potential, you should be heading towards the weight room.
If you’re female, don’t be afraid of “bulking”.
You won’t bulk if you lift weights - you are not programmed like that (unless you take some other stuff to boost your testosterone)
You will create a strong, lean body you will be proud of.
Cardio has its place too, as you will expend energy (calories), helping to drop the pounds, plus it has a host of other great health benefits too and will increase your fitness levels.
By lifting weights 2-3 times per week, you will be accelerating fat loss, building lean muscle, making you look leaner, more defined and sexier - Men and women!
Lean muscle tissue takes up less room in the body, so the more muscle you have, the leaner you will look and feel, losing inches off your body.
Mike's recommendation would be:
Get your nutrition right - For fat loss, you need to be in calorie deficit.
Hit the weights 2-3 times per week, focusing on compound movements (squats, deadlifts, pull ups)
HIIT the treadmill/spin bike. Hight Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has its benefits. It doesn't take long to work up a sweat and burn a tonne of calories.
Structure your workouts to include weight training and cardio training to maximise fat loss.
