Importance of Resistance Training for Fat Loss
Resistance training, whether using weights or bodyweight exercises, is consistently shown to be the most effective strategy for fat loss. The specific tools or equipment used for resistance training are not as important as the intensity and consistency of the workout. While there may be some nuances, the overall focus should be on lifting weights or performing resistance exercises close to failure in the range of 5-30 reps. This approach yields better fat loss results compared to solely relying on cardio.
