In this episode of the Wolffpack Fitness Podcast, I discuss some of the science behind which exercise modality (cardio or resistance training) is better for weight loss. I dispel common myths and messages perpetuated by the media, fitness magazines, and pop culture about cardio being the best method for weight loss and resistance training supposedly being unsafe and making people "bulky," especially women.

I also explain why everyone should be doing some form of resistance training in their exercise routine, and why chronic cardio training can actually contribute to muscle loss and an inability to achieve the body composition and aesthetics many people desire.

I conclude each episode by giving you an action item or challenge to work on throughout your week to help you progress toward your health and fitness goals.
