Weight Training To LOSE FAT Faster (5 Proven Methods)

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I need to lose fat faster...I should probably just do more cardio!"?

Many of us have turned to cardio in the past to try to see better results faster.

But not only may this additional cardio be sabotaging our fat loss results, we might see better results by simply adjusting our weight training routine.

And if you’re about to say that diet is key, yes, it matters most for fat loss.

However, the most efficient results, and most lasting, happen when our diet and workouts work together.

And when it comes to amazing body recomposition, weight training wins out over cardio in terms of the biggest benefits!

Better fat loss happens when we see our training as a chance to build muscle!

So, how is cardio sabotaging your fat loss, and what are 5 ways to see better results?

I used to be a power lifter so I was big, bulky and strong….and that’s about it. I got winded running 200m and my athletic ability was second to non. So about 3 years ago I change into a more sustainable and health approach, I change my diet and implemented running into my routine. I lost 65lbs and I’ve kept it of ever since and today I lift weights and run about 50/50, so and I can absolutely recommend running to both weight loss and health.

You hit the nail on the head for me! There was a point in time a few years back when I wanted to drop weight…I had an office that had a gym downstairs. I literally logged all my food for 30 days and worked out (all cardio) for 1.5 hrs a day (including 40 min during my lunch hour). I found I started getting hungrier, eating more and I justified it bc I was working out a lot…”well, I need more calories bc I’m not sedentary.” At the end of a grueling 30 days I lost 3 lbs! Three! 😫😫😫 I’ve now started doing weights and over the past 45 days I’ve seen a big change in my body composition. No major weight loss yet but I can see my body changing and becoming smaller.

I'm 56 years old and 30 pounds overweight, and thinks to your video, I've realized that I've been training wrong at the gym for all the reasons that you stated. Thank you. 👍

Love women teaching other women the proper way to work out for their bodies!! ❤❤❤❤

[joetigo]

The key is to balance 'diet + lifting + cardio'. If you picked only one of the three, then it will take you much longer to lose fat.

Great tips there girl, I thought I was too far gone, just lost our daughter to cancer after a 3 year battle, ballooned up to 16 St for a guy who used to box at 11st and my mental health was as you can imagine at an all time low. At 54, I didn't think I could get in shape again as I have arthritis and floating cartilage in my right knee so cardio is harder, even walking the dog's can be agony on some days but I managed to drop down to 13st and although I'm not as strong as in my 40s, I'm not far away from having my best ever physique, just need to clean the diet up.

I've used my daughter's strength to help me get through the worst of times and can understand how some people may go under after such events but I'm a spiritual person and I know spirit helped pull me out of the darkness.

Gonna put some of your ideas into my workout today 👍💪

Just the advice that I needed Cori! Been recently diagnosed with osteo arthritis I have been forced to give up my favourite cardio sessions .. and my body is feeling it. As is my mind. This video has given me hope to refocus and redirect my goals and the path to get there. Thank you too for the "no-nonsense" videos :)

There was a woman that lost like 200 lbs. She said she lost 70 lbs doing program that she bought after watching an infomercial. But then she started lifting weights and that's how she lost the rest. She said lifting weights changed her body for the best. And I get how that can happen. But what I find frustrating is how I almost always get hungry right before bed. It's so irritating yet surprisingly consistent. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[sORrYiMLaTEwHAtdiDiMiSs.]

'MAXIMISING THE INTENSITY'...that is definitely the definition of QUALITY.

[servantrose]

she's talking about compound reps and heavier, while I'm over here like hmm should I go to 10lbs or stay at 5?🤔🤣

[MagicianNoriginal]

💯I love the "runners high" from cardio. But I love the physical improvements from strength training much more. Ty Cori!

[evahantzi]

Always quality content from you lovely Cori, glad that I personally prefer doing 4 days a week strength training while doing yoga once a week. Not into cardio that much unless if I go to the beach 🏖️swimming.⛱️ Thank you Cori ♥️♥️🇬🇷

I’m still working out to a video you did about 6 years ago. It’s the video you did using plates for a full body workout.

[adam]

I think I'm going to train to fail more often. This was the mental reset I needed.

[triciaseddon]

I've been resistance training for 2 years, the last year really focused 💪 I'd still like to lose more fat and gain more lean muscle but sometimes it's hard to stay focused, you've just convinced me, got to trust the process 💪 thanks cori ❤
