When working with new clients I often get asked "is cardio or weights training best for weight loss and what should my priority be to do?










My reply is always that I combine the two where possible.The thing about cardio is that most people hate it.I hate doing cardio with a vengeance and much prefer using weights if I can for my training.You may be the type of person who loves walking on a treadmill at a slow pace to enter the ‘fat loss zone’ of a workout.For me, I want to get those calories burned fast and get home to play some Nintendo with a glass of wine.











The 'fat loss zone or fat burning zone' is also a huge misnomer.










In another video I talk about the best ‘fat loss exercise’ and show that to enter the optimal fat burning zone you have to be at a really low level of output which means that you burn up a lot less calories.When you consider that the main (only) element that needs to be present for BODY FAT burning is a calorie deficit you start to understand that it’s not what type of exercise you do, fat loss or other. It’s the amount of calories that you burn.With that in mind I try to make my cardio fun with a kettlebell circuit which takes about 25 minutes and burns more calories than a steady state cardio ‘fat burning’ workout.I use this method in my coaching community and it works a treat for the women in there who are all getting in great shape while enjoying their workouts and building a more toned and leaner body.




In this video you’ll learn more about those methods and how I apply them to clients.
