What Is The Best Exercise for Fat Loss: Weight Training Exercise or Cardiovascular Exercise
For fat loss, weight training exercise burns more body fat than cardiovascular exercise.
Weight training exercise gives you a metabolic boost for 24-48 hours. The reason for that is because when you perform weight training exercise a lot of damage happens to the muscle fibers, and thus, the body has to spend energy repairing the muscle and making it stronger than before.
Traditional cardiovascular exercise, on the other hand, only burns calories throughout the duration of the exercise. Once the activity is done, your metabolism goes back to normal.
Because of this, weight training is a better exercise for fat loss since your metabolism is stimulated for much longer. Also, keep in mind that cardiovascular exercise cannot re-shape your body in the way that weight training does. If you are looking to have a tight and fit toned body, weight training is what you need to emphasize.
With that said, keep in mind that fat loss is really a function of your diet as well, so if you are not following a diet that puts you in a slightly lower caloric deficit, you won’t be able to lose any body fat. But from the perspective of exercise, weight training beats cardio any time.
Conclusion
Because with weight training exercise you can:
1)Increase your metabolism for 24-48 hours.
2)Re-shape your physique.
Weight training exercise needs to be emphasized over cardiovascular exercise in order to burn fat.
