To me it's hard to combine both. I work ten hours a day and I get home pretty early in the day however combining heavy and intense workouts with early hours at work...even just the thought of that makes me tired. I pick cardio more often than weight training and it goes with my goals more.

For someone who's hooked into having a healthy, active and fun lifestyle for a year and lost around 95 pounds.. I've tried only cardio for 6 months lost weight and gained it back.. I've done weight training in the past and gained back weight.. i wasn't able to stick to a healthy lifestyle for more than 6 months.. but this time i made changes.. i brought together a bunch of people at my gym who wanted to just have fun and lose weight.. they're wonderful.. we do lotssa different things every week.. Mondays HIIT Tuesday and Wednesday full body weight training.. Thursday's we all meet at a park and walk around or have fun at those pull up bars in the play area 😀 Sunday usually long runs or trekking or basketball.. sometimes football.. we keep mixing it up.. sometimes it's just an hour long group dance session lol.. Yes eating healthy and intermittent fasting helps a lot !! Do it for fun.. do it with love !! You'll never quit.. Cheers !!
People constantly lose "weight" in cardio and shit man, gain it right back. This is because you don't build muscle in cardio except some leg muscles which is not where most of your weight is. It is in the torso. Your "weight loss" is just dehydration loss for a while. When you weight train and build muscle, you have to make fat somewhere else to gain weight back. That is just over eating.
@@BCFC954 Balance is not needed. I just find cardio boring. I get enough general workout at my ranch. Working out for weight loss, I saw zero loss over the first three months. Now it is going down. The long lag is probably how the body is built so you keep going without constant meals, but it was very concerning originally.
Personally I find cardio a supplement while weight training is king if you wanna burn fat off. I lost 42 pounds or 3 stone in 4 months and cut my calorie intake by 750. I focused on more protein so ate only meats, cheese, eggs and certain fruits. Cut out carbs to almost nil. The most carbs I got were from coffee and tea with milk. No refined sugars, starch rice potatoes junk food etc etc And I made sure to stick to a good sleep pattern, no late nights 12 o'clock being the latest So for me it's diet, 80% weights 20% cardio, sleep and the need to kick your own ass and push yourself to commit to it. It's easy to put weight on, not so easy to lose it. But once it's off it's easier to maintain
I’m so happy that I found you by happenstance- I WAS interested in cardio vs weights but now that I found you - I would follow you because of your nutrition knowledge. I’m 68 and I walk for 70 minutes every morning and when daylight allows, I walk an extra 30 after dinner. I do weights 3 times a week but I don’t get anything doing weight as I do walking- mostly endorphins, fantastic energy - just to name a couple. I hired a nutritional coach two weeks before the pandemic hit and started to eat clean 80/20 or I say sprinkled with sugar and I never looked back. My favorite thing that I get from proper nutrition and daily exercise is definitely my new found vitality I hope I can carry this well into my 90’s and beyond as my mother just passed away at 100 in November- it’s in our genes.Looking forward to seeing your contents . Thank you for your great explanation of the importance of weights, exercise and nutrition.❤️
This video really breaks down the pros and cons of both cardio and weight lifting for fat loss. It's fascinating how different bodies respond to each method.
I’m currently on my own weight loss journey and I can say without a doubt in my mind that as far as exercise goes lifting weights is more important in the long run than cardio…. I’m not saying I don’t do cardio I’m just saying that my primary exercise is weight training and cardio is secondary…. I lift 4-5 days a week following a “bro split”, each lifting session consists of at least 20 sets… so each exercise that I do is 4 sets of 8-12 reps and I do 5-6 different lifts per session… I lift heavy… I don’t mean that I’m a strong man or anything, I mean that I train to failure or to the verge of failure for at least the last 2 sets of each exercise…. Each week I slightly increase the weights on my core lifts and I change up supplemental lifts regularly to shock my muscles… I also lift at a pretty fast pace… I get through 20-24 sets in 45 min to an hour… (I hate the people that sit around on their phone between sets for 5 min after doing a 40lb lat pull down lol)… The great Ronnie Coleman has said 45 min is all he needed for each lift session… No need to spend 2-3 hours in the gym…. I do cardio 2-3 times a week usually 1 of those days is a day I don’t lift… the other 1-2 cardio workouts are in the evening after a morning lift… i like to do a few rounds on my heavy bag, I have battle ropes I like to use, I do kbell swings and I do my core work/ a couple yoga stretches for my back… It gets my heart rate up, I get a good sweat, and I avoid wear and tear on my knees and feet by not running or walking for distance… Diet is the real key to success… if you eat like shit your results will be shit regardless of exercise… especially as you get older…
Cardio makes me feel relaxed and lifting weights makes me feel happy! Among the other many benefits. But those are the most immediate effects I feel after each.
Team Cardio/Bodyweight/Rubberband/Table tennis training here: Ich can eat how much and whatever I want and don't get fat. I only eat when I'm hungry btw. But well we talk of about 12 - 15 hours sports per week. I don't use elevators and skip public transport if it's below 2-3 km away, oh and I always have a backpack on with about 10kg (food, water, training equipment etc. for good measure, except when I'm running) Many people would say that's too much, and that they don't have time. I call that just an excuse. I buy my groceries at the store (2km away) and carry it back in my backback (17 to 20 kg) it's a 75l large backpack btw. If you want to do the same, I recommend buying an expensive and modular military rucksack, reinforced with aluminium or similar for stability.
Amazing explenation. I’m starting to working out from a full cardio routine to weight routine and never considered that with the mass gain I’d gain weight too. Now i know that I don’t have to freak out if gain weight. Thanks! 😊
3 months weight workout, zero weight loss. That after that, 5 pounds got lost. Next month two more. Into my next month after that another one to two are gone. Who knows, I expect it to continue for a while, that is, rest of the year.
ive been doing strength training using dumbbells at home since 10 days n eating around 1500 kcals mostly.. m not losing any weight n feel kinda demotivated. On the other hand, i hate cardio n cant do that either.
I do 5-10 miles of biking every day and am off on the weekend. I do weight resistance training 7 days a week, but interchange some of those exercises so I don’t get too sore. I don’t go to a gym, so I just use the floor and wall… and a 25lbs dumbbell. One thing that helps limit injuries or hurting of your muscles, especially the leg/knee areas when doing cardio, is a high protein diet. I am 290 right now and I am eating around 2000 calories per day, and am eating around 100-150 grams of protein. A good percentage of your daily calorie is take is 20%-35% for protein, if a high protein diet is what you want. Once I lose weight, that number will lessen. Good luck.
@@donaldkasper8346 Lol. My PR is 250 lb and that's when I was 225 pounds and in high school. I haven't done bench presses with a barbell since then, unfortunately (I am around a half decade removed from that time). I am down to 255 pounds since my last comment. I stopped working out so much and picked up fasting. I still exercise to keep the metabolism going and limit muscle loss (which I haven't noticed much, if any). I have a lot of muscle left over from being an athlete, lol. That's been the toughest thing. I love to work out, especially lifting. However, I am looking to lose fat the quickest way possible, but also the safest way. Working out so much without proper nutrition just doesn't work. So I have found a good mix. Once I hit around 210-225, I will cut the fasting and work on a long-term nutrition/workout plan that still lowers my weight, but can gradually get back into the "normal" life, lol.
@@Culperrr LOL The weight means something when you do 3 sets of 10 with 1 to 2 minute breaks. Do you press 250 at that, or is that once after walking around the gym to rest 15 minutes?
For example, I can do 40lb (x 2, 45 lb bar) at 5 reps, 5 times, one minute break. And just didn't bother continuing. That is a controlled lift. Once at 250 lbs is not endurance. You can put your feet back toward your head under your knees and lift your butt up and probably double your single lift weight. That is with my ass on the bench, not up 10 inches to push the weight up.
It is super individuals. While trying to work with my Dr, she wouldn't listen to my issues with asthma and impact joint pain and just kept telling me I needed to be doing cardio like jogging and running, she even said walking wasn't enough because it wouldn't make me breath hard enough and I should use my inhaler while exercising if it was that bad. Mind you, I was over 300lbs so walking did make me breath hard. I tried it her way and it was not only totally unsustainable and painful, but didn't really seem to affect my weight loss. About a year ago I decided to try out weight training and I immediately could start tomtell a difference, and I immediately left my plateau and started losing again. Plus it's not painful, I do stuff that gives me a little cardio while strength training, and no more inhaler! Ive been able to keep.up.with it way easier. I'm about 50lbs down now. Likewise you could have an obese person with no asthma but who has back issues or bone density issues or something that might mean something like swimming or walking is ideal for them. At the end of the day, whatever is sustainable, realistic, and helps more than hurts is the correct workout.
What about these exercises I see where people are combing light weights with cardio. Is that for faster weight loss or does it build some muscle, I am so confused. Thank you I look forward to your reply, great video ❤️
I love and do both cardio(in this I only walk-run-sprint and burpee and playing sports like football and badminton) and weight(full body body weights and weight dumble training) daily
I am working out for 6 weeks now, 3 times a week and as far as i noticed is that i only lost 2 kg's but i did lose about 9 centimeters around my waist. I feel alot healthyer to be fair!
Thanks, I have been wrestling with this. Started lifting recently to get stronger and lose fat. Cardio sounds like a very, very good add based on this video! Thank you so much!
my thing is that the type of resistance training I do (like Caroline Girvan), my heart rate does increase as well as my breathing and I sweat. Really, I often feel as out of breath with my heart beating as I would doing a cardio workout.
I’ve decided to do both, I’m going to add cardio but not too much. I’ve tried exercising the “bodybuilder” way the last few months where you do no cardio and just eat a strict diet and lift…. But that doesn’t work for me… I did gain some muscle but I didn’t lose that much fat because I kept messing up on my diet and wasn’t allowed to do cardio “because it burns muscle away”. I’m not perfect and my diet is going to mess up sometimes and that’s why I like cardio to compensate for that. I like doing at least one hour of cardio everyday because even though I try my best to stick to my diet perfectly, sometimes I mess up but that cardio will keep me ahead of the game. I’m also very motivated by progress and momentum and doing cardio everyday and knowing that the fat IS coming off fast just works better for me mentally rather than the slow and steady weight lifting approach where the results aren’t always apparent… I also have a bad shoulder which really hinders my workouts and progress. Perhaps if I my shoulder was healthier and I could really go to town with my workouts, the bodybuilding approach would work for me. 🤔
You can put on muscle without lifting the heaviest weight you can. I used to go with the whole "go heavy all the time" approach but I didn't see really good results until I lightened up the weight, increased my reps, and focused on mind-muscle-connection (MMC doesnt get talked about as much as it should relative to building muscle). Start light and focus on form with your shoulder, and see what's comfortable/your range of motion and go from there. Probably wouldn't hurt to seek the advice of a medical expert/physical therapist. Best of luck! 💪💪
I TOTALLY feel you! When I was mainly doing weights and not much cardio, it was a slow process and I love food so being strict with my diet isn't my thing. Yes, I lost weight and had more muscle definition, but than I injured my knee and lower back so just did cardio such as swimming, eliptical, cycling, yoga and you know what? The weight just melted off! Everyone noticed and were complimenting me on my weight lose. I was even eating more but losing fat faster, and all the muscles I built doing heavy weight lifting for 8 months started to really show! I also felt WAY happier and relaxed doing cardio! Now I'm recovered from my injuries and lifting again, but I enjoy cardio more so now I'm doing 30-40% Weight training and 60-70% cardio including yoga, swimming and I'm going to get back into pilates. This works better for me! I'm so sick of cardio getting such a bad rep in social media it's so freaking important and the fitter you get, the more calories you burn and your body becomes a fat burning machine. Cardio is an EXCELLENT tool for weight lose!
We are all individuals but I found for myself that plenty of steady walking is is the best way to burn calories when it comes to exercise especially when you're trying to lose fat weight
Weight training leads to muscle growth, muscle growth leads to a higher resting metabolic rate and more efficient metabolism the moreuscle you build the more you will burn when supplemented with short duration high intensity cardio, but what is often overlooked is optimal sleeping hygiene, and increasing the amoint of movement you do throughout the day dont get hung up on just watching pounds drop on the scale there are so so many more factors and benefits to having a realistic and progressive training routine, your mindset is the haed part picking something up and putting it down is easu
I’ve recently got a dietitian to build my diet. I’m losing around 4 pounds a week and I’m out of the obese category now. I do PPL 6 times a week and cardio after every session. Usually an incline treadmill walk for 30 minutes and then 3 days a week I do a 5K. My aim is to do 2 10K a week and then build to a marathon
OMAD ( 1 hour of eating ) which comprised of 60% fat and 20% from Carbs and Protein. Resistance training was not negotiable. This resulted in me losing 39 lbs / 18 kgs of total body weight loss. No specific steps done.
I’m a software engineer and kind of a nerd so I like playing video games and watching TV so I’m not very active. For me the big change came when I added weights to my daily walks. I had VERY little muscle mass. I was 260lbs and almost 43% body fat. So subtracting the fat, the bones, and blood/organs my amount of muscle was minuscule. I had trouble losing weight and keeping it off. After adding weights to my routine it became much easier to lose weight and keep it off. I’m going not down to 230 but I haven’t been below 230 in about 15 years.
You lose weight in cardio and aerobics by sweating and losing water. Then you gain it right back when you rehydrate. When you weight lift, you build muscles all over not just for your legs. You also build muscle from fat more than dehydrate weight loss because you drink water as you work out.
Is it truly better to do a morning workout fasted? I am at the gym at 4:00AM week days, should I eat a snack before training. This early session is predominantly weights only. Thank you!
This can depend on a few things in my opinion. 1. If you are hyperglycemic then it may be worth it to have peri-workout snack (snack during your workout) 2. It depends on your body fat %. The higher BF% the less worrisome this is as you use the excess BF as fuel to get you through your workout. If the goal is fat loss then it really just matters how many calories you have throughout the day. If performance is the goal you may benefit from having a balanced high protein, fat and carb snack prior to exercise and a high protein and carb meal/snack afterwards. Hope this helps.
It's best on an empty stomach in the morning but for a different reason. Your body has to finish detoxing it's self and it doesn't do that for another hour after you wake up. That's why working out in the morning is beneficial because you help sweat it out. Why do you think farmers live for so long? They wake up early in the morning and do farm chores which can be a work out depending on what your doing and then you eat breakfast later in the morning. So I would just recommend working out on an empty stomach .
For People reading this, I think it all depends. If you’re “FAT” and want to lose your fat stick to cardio but know how much you want to drop by. You didn’t want lose skin (skinny fat) if your over weight and want to lose weight (fat) focus on weights and cardio, mix it but don’t deny yourself the weight training. Everybody body is different and will also react differently too. More is than going to the gym, focus on what you’re eating. Don’t do diets but eat crap in moderation limit yourself two crap food 1x per week.
Lifting weights makes me sore, so I have to skip one or two gym days to recover, and my mood sucks if I cant work out. Cardio I can do every day and feel great.
I’m so upset . I run every single day till I’m burnt out and I’ve lost a lot of weight but my stomach is still huge in comparison to my small thin frame . I look thin head to toe but my stomach is huge . Im so tired of everything
Heres the solution, you probably at the skinny fat stage right now. I dd a lot of cardio lost a lot of weight, but my stomach and face was still fat. The only way I fixed is by building muscle. You need to incorporate weight training to your workout. Weight training does a better job at recomposition of ur body than just cardio. Eat around 500 calories excess than ur maintenance calories. (Do not fast, divide it 4-5 meals a day). Record ur strength gains and do progressive overload.
@@BCFC954 *"developing abdominal muscles will fight the belly fat the same way biceps exercises fight the fat in your arms"* That's a load of shit. It doesn't work that way, you can't target fat in particular areas. You lose fat the same way you put it on. So if the stomach is the first place you put it on it'll be the last place you lose it for example
Okay it's clearly the answer is okay it's clear the answer is aerobic exercise. If you're 320 lb put down the weights and and join me on the treadmill!
The answer is a little of both but my personal experience I’ve done a couple of crash courses I have a bad eating disorder where I eat way too much at once, I did only cardio for a week I lost 3 pounds (also ate a calorie deficit) I was starting at 230 after that life got complicated because Covid and I gained it back pretty quick I recently started weight training along with a calorie deficit and lost 7 pounds in a week (mind you most of this is water weight which is normal 7 lbs isn’t a healthy amount If you’ve been on a weight loss journey for a long time but at the beginning it’s really easy to shed the weight) when people ask me personally I prefer weight training it’s actually fun and really changes the tone of your body overall starting off I was 230 and I’m 6’0 and had a very bad diet was probably eating 3000+ calories a day but weight training 3 times a week along with a morning walk everyday for 20 to 30 minutes while eating a lot of small meals throughout the day really went along way it’s helped me tone myself and fix my relationship with food I’m currently at 215 was 210 a month ago but muscle is starting to add more weight but I look way more lean and my posture has completely changed this is just my experience I have a bad metabolism and weight training has kept me more motivated to continue because trust me I’ve seen alot of people do cardio notice little to no change and they completely bail on. find something you enjoy because you more likely to stick with it. in total it’s been about 4 months since I’ve started all of this
The loud music makes it hard to understand what you're saying. There's no need at all for music in a video of this kind, so you're covering up your voice for nothing.
People who really care about their body will do both weight training and cardio in balance and set a healthy diet instead of debating 😇
Facts! 100%
No😂 I'm not doing any cardio bozo you mirin?

I always combine both I start by lifting weights then at the end I do a 30min fast walking cardio
I’ve seen many videos on UA-cam that don’t give a straight answer! Thank you for making this very simple. I’ll start combining the two 💪🏾
Thanks for a straight up unbiased answer without the bs. Influencers should learn from you!
this is what i need. Thank you very much. I did not understand why my weight had increased while I do weight lifting every day.

What if you do both? I do cardio after I lift weights
Use up glycogen with weights and burn fat with cardio right after ?? Isn’t that the best formula ?
ive been doing strength training using dumbbells at home since 10 days n eating around 1500 kcals mostly.. m not losing any weight n feel kinda demotivated. On the other hand, i hate cardio n cant do that either.
Both - I do half an hour to an hour after weight training - they are complementary
Strength training only will work if you cut carbs and calories very strict like fasting and having small meals during the day

A good percentage of your daily calorie is take is 20%-35% for protein, if a high protein diet is what you want. Once I lose weight, that number will lessen. Good luck.
If you get sore, do the same workout anyway at lower weight and just continue. The soreness stops for me anyway.
290? Shit, big man. You have the mass to do 185 lb bench presses.

While trying to work with my Dr, she wouldn't listen to my issues with asthma and impact joint pain and just kept telling me I needed to be doing cardio like jogging and running, she even said walking wasn't enough because it wouldn't make me breath hard enough and I should use my inhaler while exercising if it was that bad. Mind you, I was over 300lbs so walking did make me breath hard. I tried it her way and it was not only totally unsustainable and painful, but didn't really seem to affect my weight loss. About a year ago I decided to try out weight training and I immediately could start tomtell a difference, and I immediately left my plateau and started losing again. Plus it's not painful, I do stuff that gives me a little cardio while strength training, and no more inhaler! Ive been able to keep.up.with it way easier. I'm about 50lbs down now. Likewise you could have an obese person with no asthma but who has back issues or bone density issues or something that might mean something like swimming or walking is ideal for them. At the end of the day, whatever is sustainable, realistic, and helps more than hurts is the correct workout.
I do cardio to improve my stamina, and I do weight lifting to shape my muscle
What about these exercises I see where people are combing light weights with cardio. Is that for faster weight loss or does it build some muscle, I am so confused. Thank you I look forward to your reply, great video ❤️
I love and do both cardio(in this I only walk-run-sprint and burpee and playing sports like football and badminton) and weight(full body body weights and weight dumble training) daily
The problem is weight lifting increases appetite a lot for most people.
That’s not a problem
I am working out for 6 weeks now, 3 times a week and as far as i noticed is that i only lost 2 kg's but i did lose about 9 centimeters around my waist. I feel alot healthyer to be fair!
Thanks, I have been wrestling with this. Started lifting recently to get stronger and lose fat. Cardio sounds like a very, very good add based on this video! Thank you so much!
my thing is that the type of resistance training I do (like Caroline Girvan), my heart rate does increase as well as my breathing and I sweat. Really, I often feel as out of breath with my heart beating as I would doing a cardio workout.
I'm female & I've gone bulky with weights but my belly hasn't shifted. Should I do cardio?
I’ve decided to do both, I’m going to add cardio but not too much.
I’ve tried exercising the “bodybuilder” way the last few months where you do no cardio and just eat a strict diet and lift…. But that doesn’t work for me… I did gain some muscle but I didn’t lose that much fat because I kept messing up on my diet and wasn’t allowed to do cardio “because it burns muscle away”.
I’m not perfect and my diet is going to mess up sometimes and that’s why I like cardio to compensate for that. I like doing at least one hour of cardio everyday because even though I try my best to stick to my diet perfectly, sometimes I mess up but that cardio will keep me ahead of the game.
I’m also very motivated by progress and momentum and doing cardio everyday and knowing that the fat IS coming off fast just works better for me mentally rather than the slow and steady weight lifting approach where the results aren’t always apparent…
I also have a bad shoulder which really hinders my workouts and progress. Perhaps if I my shoulder was healthier and I could really go to town with my workouts, the bodybuilding approach would work for me. 🤔
You can put on muscle without lifting the heaviest weight you can. I used to go with the whole "go heavy all the time" approach but I didn't see really good results until I lightened up the weight, increased my reps, and focused on mind-muscle-connection (MMC doesnt get talked about as much as it should relative to building muscle). Start light and focus on form with your shoulder, and see what's comfortable/your range of motion and go from there. Probably wouldn't hurt to seek the advice of a medical expert/physical therapist. Best of luck! 💪💪
I TOTALLY feel you! When I was mainly doing weights and not much cardio, it was a slow process and I love food so being strict with my diet isn't my thing. Yes, I lost weight and had more muscle definition, but than I injured my knee and lower back so just did cardio such as swimming, eliptical, cycling, yoga and you know what? The weight just melted off! Everyone noticed and were complimenting me on my weight lose. I was even eating more but losing fat faster, and all the muscles I built doing heavy weight lifting for 8 months started to really show! I also felt WAY happier and relaxed doing cardio! Now I'm recovered from my injuries and lifting again, but I enjoy cardio more so now I'm doing 30-40% Weight training and 60-70% cardio including yoga, swimming and I'm going to get back into pilates. This works better for me! I'm so sick of cardio getting such a bad rep in social media it's so freaking important and the fitter you get, the more calories you burn and your body becomes a fat burning machine. Cardio is an EXCELLENT tool for weight lose!
We are all individuals but I found for myself that plenty of steady walking is is the best way to burn calories when it comes to exercise especially when you're trying to lose fat weight
Weight training leads to muscle growth, muscle growth leads to a higher resting metabolic rate and more efficient metabolism the moreuscle you build the more you will burn when supplemented with short duration high intensity cardio, but what is often overlooked is optimal sleeping hygiene, and increasing the amoint of movement you do throughout the day dont get hung up on just watching pounds drop on the scale there are so so many more factors and benefits to having a realistic and progressive training routine, your mindset is the haed part picking something up and putting it down is easu
Im 6"1 290 lbs, im running 4 to 5 miles a day 5 days a week, once i get down to 220 lbs ill start lifting weights and keep running.
tnx for the information. Very good video!
thats what i exactly needed, thank u so much
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thank you for this video
This helped so much, thank you!
I don't have money so I do more cardio and do cycling and eat proper diet keeping protein in mind
I’ve recently got a dietitian to build my diet. I’m losing around 4 pounds a week and I’m out of the obese category now. I do PPL 6 times a week and cardio after every session. Usually an incline treadmill walk for 30 minutes and then 3 days a week I do a 5K. My aim is to do 2 10K a week and then build to a marathon
This sounds a lot like what I do. But my diet is currently inconsistent.
The main issue I have with cardio is that it takes too dang long. I'm team "resistance training at high intensity".
OMAD ( 1 hour of eating ) which comprised of 60% fat and 20% from Carbs and Protein.
Resistance training was not negotiable.
This resulted in me losing 39 lbs / 18 kgs of total body weight loss.
No specific steps done.
I lost 40lbs doing 10-15 miles on a stationary bike from mon-fri for 6 months
Amazing, wow. Did you do caloric deficit?
This is a really well balanced video. Thank you.
I’m a software engineer and kind of a nerd so I like playing video games and watching TV so I’m not very active.
For me the big change came when I added weights to my daily walks.
I had VERY little muscle mass. I was 260lbs and almost 43% body fat. So subtracting the fat, the bones, and blood/organs my amount of muscle was minuscule.
I had trouble losing weight and keeping it off.
After adding weights to my routine it became much easier to lose weight and keep it off.
I’m going not down to 230 but I haven’t been below 230 in about 15 years.
Hope to see you guys at Princess Weekend.
This explains ehy i feel heavier when I started doing weight lifting
You lose weight in cardio and aerobics by sweating and losing water. Then you gain it right back when you rehydrate. When you weight lift, you build muscles all over not just for your legs. You also build muscle from fat more than dehydrate weight loss because you drink water as you work out.
Cardio is the holy grail of weight loss.
Thank you for NOT saying muscle weighs more than fat.
I think this video showed us that calisthenics might be king
Is it truly better to do a morning workout fasted? I am at the gym at 4:00AM week days, should I eat a snack before training. This early session is predominantly weights only. Thank you!
No it's not
This can depend on a few things in my opinion.
1. If you are hyperglycemic then it may be worth it to have peri-workout snack (snack during your workout)
2. It depends on your body fat %. The higher BF% the less worrisome this is as you use the excess BF as fuel to get you through your workout.
If the goal is fat loss then it really just matters how many calories you have throughout the day.
If performance is the goal you may benefit from having a balanced high protein, fat and carb snack prior to exercise and a high protein and carb meal/snack afterwards.
Hope this helps.
It's best on an empty stomach in the morning but for a different reason. Your body has to finish detoxing it's self and it doesn't do that for another hour after you wake up. That's why working out in the morning is beneficial because you help sweat it out. Why do you think farmers live for so long? They wake up early in the morning and do farm chores which can be a work out depending on what your doing and then you eat breakfast later in the morning. So I would just recommend working out on an empty stomach .
No. You'll feel weak and it's going to mentally fatigue you into quitting working out altogether
I’m not going to argue with that because, I did gain weight, but I’m losing body fats 😀😂
For People reading this, I think it all depends. If you’re “FAT” and want to lose your fat stick to cardio but know how much you want to drop by. You didn’t want lose skin (skinny fat) if your over weight and want to lose weight (fat) focus on weights and cardio, mix it but don’t deny yourself the weight training. Everybody body is different and will also react differently too. More is than going to the gym, focus on what you’re eating. Don’t do diets but eat crap in moderation limit yourself two crap food 1x per week.
😊
Bruh, I laugh almost every day and I ain’t losing anything.
I'm overweight male. I tried losing fats through cardio but it's just too boring for me. I find weight lifting more fun.
Lifting weights makes me sore, so I have to skip one or two gym days to recover, and my mood sucks if I cant work out. Cardio I can do every day and feel great.
No shit you rebuild muscle when your sore eat your protein shakes
You explained well
I’m so upset . I run every single day till I’m burnt out and I’ve lost a lot of weight but my stomach is still huge in comparison to my small thin frame . I look thin head to toe but my stomach is huge . Im so tired of everything
Heres the solution, you probably at the skinny fat stage right now. I dd a lot of cardio lost a lot of weight, but my stomach and face was still fat. The only way I fixed is by building muscle. You need to incorporate weight training to your workout. Weight training does a better job at recomposition of ur body than just cardio. Eat around 500 calories excess than ur maintenance calories. (Do not fast, divide it 4-5 meals a day). Record ur strength gains and do progressive overload.
It’s your body shape/ type do lots of reach and how to train accordingly
I have a similar issue, and this could be a result of so many factors, it can be natural and you're body is holding onto any fat in that area
@@BCFC954 *"developing abdominal muscles will fight the belly fat the same way biceps exercises fight the fat in your arms"*
That's a load of shit. It doesn't work that way, you can't target fat in particular areas. You lose fat the same way you put it on. So if the stomach is the first place you put it on it'll be the last place you lose it for example

Speed vs power
Facts!
This spectacle looks so cute 😍
I thought these two go hand in hand.
Moderate cardio will no doubt help you burn more calories
We knew it long back bfore ur vdo
Say 75 weight training 25 cardio
10 PHDs will have 10 personal opinions.
Great video, tired of videos saying only do X otherwise you're wasting your time.
Okay it's clearly the answer is okay it's clear the answer is aerobic exercise.
If you're 320 lb put down the weights and and join me on the treadmill!
This doesn’t answer the “OR” question because you just combined “both” as your answer.
What is the answr? Not practical
The answer is a little of both but my personal experience I’ve done a couple of crash courses I have a bad eating disorder where I eat way too much at once, I did only cardio for a week I lost 3 pounds (also ate a calorie deficit) I was starting at 230 after that life got complicated because Covid and I gained it back pretty quick I recently started weight training along with a calorie deficit and lost 7 pounds in a week (mind you most of this is water weight which is normal 7 lbs isn’t a healthy amount If you’ve been on a weight loss journey for a long time but at the beginning it’s really easy to shed the weight) when people ask me personally I prefer weight training it’s actually fun and really changes the tone of your body overall starting off I was 230 and I’m 6’0 and had a very bad diet was probably eating 3000+ calories a day but weight training 3 times a week along with a morning walk everyday for 20 to 30 minutes while eating a lot of small meals throughout the day really went along way it’s helped me tone myself and fix my relationship with food I’m currently at 215 was 210 a month ago but muscle is starting to add more weight but I look way more lean and my posture has completely changed this is just my experience I have a bad metabolism and weight training has kept me more motivated to continue because trust me I’ve seen alot of people do cardio notice little to no change and they completely bail on. find something you enjoy because you more likely to stick with it. in total it’s been about 4 months since I’ve started all of this
She literally said to do both of them
baically everything we already knew
Do both everyday, bam
Calories or Fat
Combining Cardio and Weightlifting is a good idea, but before doing it we must eliminate sugar and deep fried foods from our daily diet.
good video ... but ..... women ?
The loud music makes it hard to understand what you're saying. There's no need at all for music in a video of this kind, so you're covering up your voice for nothing.
Is this a man or a woman
Fuck knows anymore
