Cardio for fat loss?
.
Not necessary. Although cardio may be an effective way to burn off calories in achieving a total caloric deficit resulting in weight loss but there’s limitation to it. Those who have done it may realise there’s only so much fat they can lose doing cardio alone
.
With a demanding lifestyle and limited free time in a day, I prioritize resistance/strength training only (1 hour at most a session)
.
The most effective way to lose body fat is eating right and lifestyle. In my opinion eating for quality is superior than eating for calories. Practise food as information concept where food you eat nourishes and sets off the right intended hormonal effect as well
.
So why do cardio? If you want to improve your resting heart rate and strengthen your cardiovascular endurance then go for it. I’ve only incorporated running for not more than an hour, 1x a week (every Sunday) recently. Resting heart rate drop from originally 50 (without cardio) to now 40+ (with just 1x cardio session of less than an hour a week)
.
Be clear of the goal then apply the right method to achieve it effectively💪
