The difference between weight training and cardio.



So I thought this would be a good one to touch on. Many people get confused about this. People who want to lose fat think, " oh, i should do mostly alot of running, treadmill, and stairs. Thats all i should have to do." Well thats wrong. That kind of training alone(without weight training combined) will make you drop bodyweight, however, its also eating up your muscle mass which you NEED to reach the goal, that you most likely want.

Do NOT do just cardio by itself, unless you want to be a scrawny ass runner person who cant lift shit, and still, well sort of looks like shit. Dont do that!!! 

Here's what you should do. Start a basic weightraining program, 3 days a week minimum should do the trick. And cardio 2 days a week, 30 min each cardio session. If you want to do it same day as your weight training session thats fine, BUT you should do it either in the morning when you wake up OR imediately after your weight training session. That is scientifically most effective for bodyfat loss.

Also, you can lose bodyfat with weight training alone. This can work for both fat people and the people who are only trying to lose a few percent bodyfat in every month. But, your diet has to be on point, strict, no cheat meals on the regular unless you need it. And if you stay consistent with that and weight train hard and progress in volume and strength, you will lose bodyfat. You will keep the muscle but still lose fat. Do you understand the difference between cardio alone vs. Weight training? Theres a difference. Take that into consideration.
