When most people think of weight loss, cardio usually comes to mind. However, strength training is just as important, if not more so, for achieving your weight loss goals.
Here’s why you should incorporate strength training into your fitness routine:
- Boost Metabolism: Strength training increases muscle mass, which helps boost your resting metabolic rate. This means your body burns more calories, even at rest.
- Long-Term Fat Loss: While cardio burns calories in the short term, strength training promotes fat loss for the long haul by preserving muscle tissue as you lose weight.
- Build a Toned Physique: Strength training helps you achieve a lean, toned look while losing fat, giving you the fit, healthy body you’re aiming for.
- Prevent Plateaus: Many people hit weight loss plateaus when they only do cardio. Adding strength training can keep your body progressing and burning fat consistently.
