69: Why More Cardio Won't Help You Lose Weight (and What to Do Instead)


Listen Later

Do you feel like you're spending countless hours on the treadmill or bike, but not seeing the results you want? In this Tara Talk podcast episode, I dive into a crucial question: Is more cardio the answer to achieving your dream body?

I discuss why your body adapts to cardio over time, making it less effective for fat loss, and how excessive cardio can lead to muscle loss and a slower metabolism. I also dive into the surprising ways cardio can increase hunger and why strength training is the optimal way to change your body composition.

Tune in now and discover how to create a balanced fitness routine that incorporates strategic cardio and prioritizes strength training for maximum results.
