This one is a biggie. Strength training is great for weight management. When we lift weights, over time we shift our ratio of lean tissue to fat tissue. That shift changes our metabolisms because our muscles burn more calories than our fatty tissue does. This is good news whether we’re trying to maintain a healthy weight or reach one in the first place.
Note: healthy bodies come in every size. However, many people do want to lose weight for any of a number of reasons. I’m here to support the goals of my clients and to help them be as healthy as possible.
A lot of people, when they want to lose weight, pile on the cardio. Cardio is great. It burns calories and makes us feel good and a bunch of other fab stuff. But if we want to lose fat, we need to be lifting.
