Should I Do Cardio For Weight Loss?

If you want to lose weight, stop doing cardio!

Before you attack that statement, hear me out! Cardio as exercise is definitely valuable and certainly has its place. It’s great for mental health and lung capacity. But it’s not the best way to lose weight!

If you want to become a major fat burner and get back to your best self, then you need to start lifting weights. Heavy weight. And make sure you lift 3-5 times per week. If you do this consistently for 6 months you’ll see major muscle growth and even more fat loss!

Plus, the older we get, the more falls become one of the biggest dangers to our health. But not to those who lift a lot of weights. More leg strength means less falls, and more upper body strength means a better ability to catch yourself or get back up after a fall.
