Cardio gets all the attention when it comes to shedding fat and getting toned. The problem is, after you’re done with your cardio workouts, you’re not burning many extra calories. That’s why strength training is so great; you continue to burn extra calories long after your workout.

Furthermore, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn all the time, whether at work, reading a book, sleeping, whatever. So you’re doubling the effectiveness of your workout!

So if you’re really serious about losing fat (which should be your focus… NOT your overall weight… fat matters, weight does not), you NEED to make strength training a priority.
