OzzieOcean “ Strength training mixed with cardio 6 days a week and a healthy way of eating has been a huge benefit to me. I've lost 13 pounds and 4 inches off my gut that way.
Great tip! ”

ApolloFit “ Well, the best part about fitness is that there are so many theories and ideas about training, but they all are right in some way or another, other than the totally bogus ones haha.
What I meant with metabolism being boosted by muscle is that it for your body to maintain it needs to consume energy more efficiently and at a higher rate no matter what you eat (granted it's even higher when the diet is right).
I'm also not saying to cut out the cardio, but in the end strength training will burn many more calories when you take the recovery period into account. ”

Hulbs “ Interesting Post AF. For me atleast the best way to loss body fat does include strength training workouts 3-4 times a week, but its not the 'engine' fueling my fat burn. My 'fat burning engine' is largely as a result of diet and 30 minutes cardio training everyday. The trick is to make the cardio really intense. I mainly do high Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and when my body needs a more intense workout instead of going for more than 30 minutes i simply increase work intervals and decrease rest intervals.
Having said that on days that i lift weights i always lift first and then do cardio to maximise the 'fat burn' that doing weights 'sets up' in my body.
So i guess I agree with what your saying but my focus is a little around the other way. ”
