Workout Focus: Body Composition

In this episode of the Discover Strength Podcast, CEO and exercise physiologist Luke Carlson explores the impact of resistance training on body composition. Luke explains how strength training increases lean muscle tissue at any age, enhancing resting metabolic rate and long-term fat reduction. He dives into the benefits of training to muscle failure, which boosts calorie expenditure post-workout, and contrasts this with the limited calorie-burning effects of aerobic exercise. Luke emphasizes the importance of assessing body composition, not just weight loss, to focus on fat loss and retain muscle mass. This episode provides practical insights into improving body composition through evidence-based strength training strategies.
