The age old question…”Should I do cardio or weight lifting in order to lose body fat?” The right answer…? It depends…

This episode of the Fit Men Movement podcast we get into the details of how strength training or weight lifting may or may not be more beneficial for you to lose body fat. There are certainly pros and cons to both and we cover that as well. At the end of the day, each of these forms of exercise are methods that you can leverage to lost body fat and we suggest ways to get the best out of both!

Cardio defined

Weight lifting defined

Pros/Cons of each

Weight training increases metabolism

Weight training reshapes your body

Muscle burns more calories on a 24 hour basis than cardio.  Therefore the more muscle you have the more calories you burn.

Cardio can be boring and time-consuming.  

The effectiveness of cardio for fat loss is limited by the amount of time you put into it.  

Granted about health benefits for heart, lungs, endurance, circulatory systems, etc

What would be the best way to lose fat?

Both!

Strength training —> cardio

HIIT cardio

Importance of diet in both scenarios.

Doing exercise that you love to get results will be better long term compared to doing a program that you don’t enjoy

What kinds of things to consider before you start a workout program as well as some tips to help keep you safe while exercising and avoid injury. We also get into the topic of modification and how that can be incredibly beneficial to those who are just starting out, but also applicable to those of use who are working through an injury. Towards the end of the episode, we’ll share our own personal experiences of where modifications became a necessity for each of us.

Currently,

In this episode, we interview one of the Fit Men Movement founders; Chris Coburn. A few episodes back, we interviewed Jared and this time around Chris is here to share his story. You’ll learn about how Chris got his not so glamorous start in fitness and how he continues to be a student on the nutritional side of things.

Chris Coburn – a husband, father, coach, Your Fitness Path Founder, health and fitness expert. Chris found himself in place like many. He had worked hard in life, started a family, but s ll knew he could do more to take care of himself. He was one of those “has been” high-school athletes that fell vic m to apathy in physical activity and overindulgence at the dinner table. While he wasn’t obese, or THAT overweight, he certainly did not consider himself to be in shape. Deep down he was embarrassed of his outward appearance and his personal confidence reflected it.

Fortunately he decided to make a change! Through working out at home and learning how important proper nutrition was to his results, Chris transformed his body and who he was as a father and husband.

Chris took his passion and began to pour it into coaching others to the same life changing results he had experienced. Chris lives in Indiana with his beautiful wife Debbie and 4 children.
