Resistance Training for Fat Loss and Health
- Resistance training surpasses all other exercise forms for fat loss and overall health.
- It uniquely boosts metabolism, allowing the body to burn more calories without increased activity.
Past Research Oversights
- Older studies primarily focused on cardiovascular activity for health, neglecting resistance training.
- This oversight stemmed from a limited understanding and the association of resistance training with extreme bodybuilding.
Metabolism Boost
- Resistance training is the only exercise that reliably increases metabolism, which is crucial for sustainable fat loss.
- A higher metabolism burns more calories even without additional activity, unlike cardio where calorie burning stops with the activity.
