For years, cardio was the go-to for fat loss. But the real secret? Strength training.
Lifting weights doesn't just burn calories during your workout - it supercharges your metabolism for up to 48 hours after, thanks to the afterburn effect (EPOC).
Why Strength Training Beats Cardio
🔥 Burns More Calories Over Time - Muscle torches fat 24/7, even when you're resting.
💪 Preserves Muscle, Unlike Cardio - More muscle = a higher metabolism all day long.
📈 Boost Fat-Burning Hormones - Strength training increases testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin sensitivity, all key for fat loss.
Beyond Fat Loss: Strength Training's Other Perks
✅ Strengthens bones & prevents osteoporosis
✅ Supports joint health & reduces injury risk
✅ Lowers risk of heart disease & diabetes
Getting Started with Strength Training
1️⃣ Master Form First – Start light, focus
on technique.
2️⃣ Progress Gradually –
Increase weight as you get stronger.
3️⃣ Stay Consistent – Aim for at least 2 sessions per week.

Where Cardio Fits In
Cardio has its place, but HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) crushes steady-state cardio for fat loss.

🔥 Burn More Fat in Less Time – 20 minutes of HIIT burns more fat than 40 minutes of steady-state cardio.
💪 Preserve Muscle – Unlike marathon runners, HIIT keeps you lean and strong.
⚡ Boosts Metabolism – HIIT keeps you burning calories long after your workout ends.
Nutrition: The Key to Fat Loss
🏆 Prioritize Protein – Eat 0.8-1g
per pound of body weight to fuel muscle & burn fat.
🍞
Smart Carb Timing – Eat carbs before &
after workouts for energy and recovery.
🥑 Healthy
Fats Matter – Support hormones & stay full—just
watch portions.
Best Supplements for Fat Loss
💪 Protein Powder – Helps hit daily protein
goals.
⚡ Creatine – Boosts strength &
muscle retention.
🐟 Omega-3s – Reduces
inflammation & aids recovery.
🍵 Green Tea Extract
– Naturally supports metabolism.
The Bottom Line
Lifting weights isn’t just about muscle—it’s the ultimate
fat-burning strategy. Ditch the endless cardio, start
lifting, and see real results. 🚀
Why Weight Lifting Was a Game Changer for Me
Back in the early 90s, I fell in love with weight lifting. I lifted 6 days a week for a year and packed on muscle, reaching 220 lbs. with a large chest and arms.
The biggest takeaway? Lifting weights melted fat faster than anything else - and the weight stayed off way easier than when I relied on running. Plus, I looked and felt better. A runner's build might be lean, but it doesn't showcase muscle the way weight training does.
Even today after losing 50 lbs. at 67 years old I am able to keep the weight off by weight lifting and rucking with a 35 weight vest. If you want a strong, defined physique, lifting is the way to go.
