When our goal is to lose body fat we automatically think that we need to increase our cardio which is certainly an important part of the equation.
Another way to reduce body fat is through strength training, not only does it burn the calories while you’re training, but the lean muscle that is developed boosts your metabolism helping you to become more efficient at burning calories at rest.
Many people fear that they will ‘bulk up’ if they do strength training, but with the correct balance of food that is low in carbohydrates you will develop lean muscle that isn’t ‘bulky’, but firm and fabulous!
Ignite client, PJ, has changed his training to introduce more strength and he has had better results in terms of reduction of body fat than when he was focusing predominantly on cardio based sessions.
