Fat Loss Training in Cary NC

Everyone wants to lose weight and fat, but many aren’t sure where to begin. Most people ask themselves, “Should I do cardio before I do weight training, or should I do weight training and then cardio?”. So many people have asked this very question who are trying to improve their overall health and reduce body fat. Well, at PHASE II, we have the answer and training you need.

Exercise order may matter if you are trying to achieve a specific goal, such as building muscle or improving sports skills, or if you have an extremely high level of fitness already. However, if you are just starting out and trying to improve your overall health, it really doesn’t matter if you lift weights first or do endurance training first.

The Science of Weight Loss at PHASE II

In fact, you can do both at the same time with interval training or circuit training routines or you can alternate weight lifting and endurance days if you prefer. There isn’t any magic behind this; it’s simply easier for most people to burn more calories per exercise session when they do cardio first. However, almost any combination of burning more calories while eating fewer will result in fat loss.

Some people achieve significant weight loss exclusively though dietary changes; others do it simply through weight training. Weight lifting definitely burns calories; in fact, it often burns more calories per minute than performing endurance exercise. In any case, your personal trainer will work closely with you to determine the best method for you to lose weight.

The problem is that most people fatigue quickly when lifting weights, and therefore cannot perform the exercise as long as they can walk, bike or use an elliptical machine. The end result is that the total calories burned per exercise session tends to be higher for those who do endurance exercise first, simply because they can exercise longer.

Ultimately, the best way to lose body fat is to combine endurance exercise and resistance exercise and, of course, to make dietary changes. Your trainer understands this and will ensure you are doing the optimal routine to lose weight safely and effectively.
