I often get asked, what’s the best workout for fat loss?
10+ years ago, it was believed that in order to lose fat you had to spend an hour on a cardio machine, as often as possible.
And if you had more time, you’d spend 2 hours!
Those were some boring times…
But since then the science of fat loss has improved and one single reigning king of workouts has taken the throne…
The king of all workouts is: Strength Training
What qualifies as strength training?
In order to get all of the amazing benefits of strength training, you must do weight lifting exercise with resistance (like dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells) that you cannot do for more than 12 repetitions in a set.
By being limited to only 12 repetitions because of the resistance, your body gets incredible lean muscle building, cardio and core strengthening benefits; all in a single workout.
Now of course you wouldn’t only do 12 repetitions every time. This example is used to demonstrate that if you’re trying to do “a lot of repetitions to tone up”, you’re likely not getting the real benefits of strength training.
This is how our most successful clients get such incredible results – by picking the right weights.
Before you start trying to add more weights to your workouts, make sure you consult a fitness professional to ensure your form and technique is safe and effective.
