Confused? We know. Let us explain.
Exercise alone is a poor strategy for fat loss.
It’s like someone telling you they are going to shoot you, and you can either unload the gun or wear a bulletproof vest…
And you choose the vest.
Exercise, more specifically following a Training Program, is incredible for a number of things and improving certain fitness qualities that will have the residual effect of reducing body fat.
But mostly what should be prioritized in a training program is just that…improving things like:
•Muscle Endurance
•Maximal Strength
•Aerobic Capacity
•Balance
•Mobility
And then taking your new & improved body and leveraging those qualities outside of the gym to perform recreational activities at higher intensities and for longer, using more energy in the process, and resulting in fat loss when paired with a diet that supports that goal.
This mix up most frequently occurs with “conditioning” where you should be pacing appropriately to increase your aerobic capacity/sustained intensity, and instead usually is short, painful, HIIT training that has a small metabolic effect, but no measurable long term benefits.
