Strength Training for Fat Loss

Why lifting weights belongs in every weight-loss plan.

Editorial Team··7 min read

Cardio burns calories in the moment; strength training changes the body that burns them. Two to three short sessions each week are enough to preserve and build muscle while losing fat.

A simple starting template - Squat variation - 3 sets of 8 - Push (press-up or dumbbell press) - 3 sets of 8 - Hinge (Romanian deadlift) - 3 sets of 8 - Row (dumbbell or band) - 3 sets of 10

Rest a full day between sessions. Prioritise form over load.
