Cardio vs. Muscle: The Real Principles of Lasting Fat Loss
Cardio vs. Muscle: The Real Principles of Lasting Fat Loss This week on Strong Principles, Wendy, Rob, and Larry tackle a client question that's on everyone's mind: How much cardio should I add to lose fat quickly? The hosts unpack the common trap of relying on calorie-burning cardio, explaining why it's a short-term fix that can actually slow down your metabolism. If your goal is sustainable, long-term fat loss, the answer isn't more hours on the treadmill—it's building muscle and optimizing your daily habits.

Beyond the Buzzwords: Unpacking True Strength Training
Understanding Real Strength Training The hosts explain that genuine strength training focuses on intent and proper execution rather than just performing exercises. Key components of real strength training include: Structured Rest Periods: They recommend at least 2-3 minutes of rest between sets. This allows the nervous system to recover, ensuring that each set provides the proper stimulus for strength adaptation. Shorter rest periods, they argue, often lead to conditioning rather than strength gains. Controlled Tempo: Movements should be performed with a controlled tempo (e.g., two seconds up, two seconds down) to create...
