Do I have to do strength training in conjunction with cardio?
I just want to get rid of the fat around my chest, I have good abs, but it’s that layer of fat on top of them. I know there’s no such thing as spot reduction, so I’m doing HIIT cardio frequently. The thing is, do I have to do strength training as well to compensate for any muscle degeneration from exercising, or can I just diet well and do cardio with ab work-outs? Thanks.
Well, that is an excellent question that some people have done a good job at answering already. Being a personal trainer, I have a small piece to add to their answers. What you should do is whatever you will keep doing. If you like to do cardio do that more often. If strength training is more up your alley do that. If you like it, you will be more likely to stick with it in the long run and in turn be more healthy. Now for your specific needs. Your best results will come from strength training mixed with 2 days of 30 min cardio a week. The best way to lose weight is to gain some muscle. One lb of muscle burns about 30 more calories a day than a lb of fat, so if you put on 5 lbs of muscle from working out, you will be buring 150 more calories a day from just your normal routine. Bonus wisdom: Cardio stops burning calories when you stop running, muscle keeps growing and burning calories hours after you put down the weights. Dont stop running, but when you do hit it hard, I suggest interval running. Intervals ramps up your heart rate and gets your metabolism in gear. Good luck.
