3 Reasons Why Lifting Beats Cardio for Fat Loss

Cardio is not the holy grail of fat loss. (Trust me, I used to spend hours doing exhausting cardio sessions, without getting the physique that I wanted… )

Yes cardio burns calories, but:

burning calories does not mean losing fat
you are actually “burning” WAY less calories than you think

The key to losing weight is burning more calories than you eat.

Cardio helps, but only if you’re also eating less. And you don’t want to lose muscle, you want to lose fat…

You can’t lose much fat with cardio alone if you’re not watching your diet AND lifting weights.
