My colleague Ben and I have similar training philosophies. When talking about weight training, he summed it up perfectly:
“If I hear one more person tell me that cardio is the best form of exercise for fat loss, I swear I’m going to… Seriously, I think this one is dying but it isn’t going away quietly. Metabolism is the machine that burns fuel in your body, and your lean muscle is the main determinant of how fast your metabolism is. The only way to increase your lean muscle is, WEIGHT TRAINING.”
No sugar coating in that. What are your workouts looking like? Are you a slave to group fitness or are you challenging your body in new ways that are going to build muscle, burn fat, and boost your metabolism around the clock? If not, you need to add some intense weight training to your workouts today!
