Is the first thought that comes to mind when you have hit a plateau is to do more cardio??
We are not anti-cardio, we need cardio for overhead heart health and endurance, but when it gets to be excessive and you are spending an hour+ running or on a cardio machine you are only telling your body to become more efficient and to pare down muscle making it even harder to lose the weight.
We love having our clients get outside for walks for sunshine, and fresh air to de-stress and get movement in. But when it comes to fat loss, nutrition and strength training are your key drivers.
Making sure you are in a caloric deficit with enough protein to make sure you maintain that strong metabolism and strength training 4-5x week and SLEEP for your recovery. These 3 things will get you to your fat loss goals better than running for an hour on a treadmill 5x/week.
If you are not sure how to cut back on your cardio, add strength training into your routine and make sure you are in a deficit then just reach out to us.
As coaches we are here to help, all you have to do is ask.
