Cutting Edge FitnessThe Quicker Way to Fat Burning
Everyone thinks you need to do at least 20 minutes of cardio for fat burning.
Everyone is wrong.
Recent research shows that often-neglected resistance training exercises can burn calories during exercise and long after your workout is over. This metabolism boost is a crucial component in your overall fat loss plan.
Research from the American College of Sports Medicine shows that women who performed weight training with a load that allowed only 8 repetitions per set burned more calories after exercise than using 15 repetitions per set. It is this post-exercise calorie burn that leads to long-term fat loss.
