STOP doing cardio before you lift, Okay?! 👀😬 When it comes to losing fat, cardio is one of THE LAST things you should worry about! Instead focus on THESE first 👇🏼 ✅Diet You can never outrun what you eat. It takes 3 seconds to eat 1000 calories but 2 hours to burn it off… ✅Sleep Sleep regulates your hormones, which impact how much muscle you build and fat you lose. In fact, a study showed that individuals who slept the recommended eight hours of sleep per night vs. individuals who slept only six hours of sleep per night, the individuals who slept eight hours retained more muscle mass and lost more fat than those who didn’t sleep for 8 hours. ✅Weight Training Your metabolism dictates how many calories you burn per day. The faster metabolism is the more fat you will lose🔥 The #1 indicator in how fast your metabolism is… is how much muscle mass you have. 🔑 Note: Thinking that doing cardio is the secret to fat loss is wrong. Weight training consistently will have a far greater impact in the long run on how LEAN your body is. DON’T neglect cardio, as it is an important tool to use for fat loss and your overall health, but do not make it the center of your attention 👀 It is just the cherry on top 🍒 If you want to burn more calories & you’re on your fat loss journey, save cardio for after your lift, or make sure it’s at least 3 hours before your lift with a meal in between! What’s your favorite way to do cardio!? 🔥
